Mikey Moore Joins FC Koln on Season-Long Loan from Tottenham After Impressive Rangers Run

Tottenham Hotspur's young winger Mikey Moore has secured a loan move to Bundesliga club FC Koln for the entire 2026-27 season. This follows his standout campaign with Rangers, where he made a significant impact.

Strong Performance at Rangers

The 19-year-old English winger scored seven goals and provided four assists during his time in Scotland last season. Across 47 appearances, his efforts earned him the Young Player of the Year award. With 21 senior appearances already under his belt for Spurs, Moore now looks to establish himself further in Germany’s top flight.

FC Koln Sporting Director Welcomes Moore

Thomas Kessler, FC Koln's sporting director, praised the youngster’s maturity and technical skill in an official statement:

"Despite his young age, Mikey already displays remarkable maturity. He possesses excellent technical ability, is creative and bold in one-on-one situations, and consistently poses a threat in attack thanks to his dynamism and carefree style. His profile will expand our options in the final third and give us added versatility. We are convinced that he will take the next steps in his development with us."

Moore Embraces the Challenge in Germany

The winger expressed enthusiasm about joining FC Koln, highlighting the club’s attractive playing style and their interest in him throughout negotiations:

"The club showed great interest right from the start. The talks with the management went really well; the prospect of playing in the Bundesliga here and the way the club wants to play made my decision an easy one. The team has got off to a great start. I watched both the cup matches and the game against Hoffenheim. I’m delighted to be here now - and I want to help the team by scoring as many goals and providing as many assists as possible, so that we can keep this up and have a good season."

Upcoming Debut Against VfB Stuttgart

Moore is expected to make his Bundesliga debut soon when FC Koln face VfB Stuttgart on Friday. Koln enter the fixture buoyed by a 2-1 win over Wurzburger Kickers in the DFB-Pokal and a 3-2 league victory against Hoffenheim. Joining fellow English players Reigan Heskey and Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, Moore aims to contribute to a potent attacking lineup.
