Mikey Moore sends two-word message to Will Lankshear after Tottenham youngster makes West Brom debut

At just 17-years-old, Mikey Moore has now made 15 senior appearances for Tottenham Hotspur, yielding one goal and two assists.

Ange Postecoglou has a host of Tottenham youngsters out on loan again this season but the club were reluctant to let Moore leave, a player who’s already good enough to contribute for the f⭕irst team.

Of course, Moore’s chances have predominantly come because of the unprecedented leve🦋l of injuries in N17 this season, eꦫxplaining why the likes of Lucas Bergvall have also become prominent figures.

And amid this injury crisis, it might have been tempting for Po♊stecoglou and his staff to explore the option of recalling someone like Ashley Phillips from Stoke City, or eve♓n Jamie Donley from Leyton Orient.

Both are impressing out on loan, and 🦄both who have played minute💯s for Tottenham this season.

Will Lankshear shines on West Brom debut

That being said, it raised a few eyebrows when Spurs were willing to let young striker Will Lankshear l🧔eave on loan in January, given those who are unavailable.

Perhaps Mathys Tel’s expected arrival pulled the trigger on that 🃏decision somewhat, but there’s no doubt that the 19-year-old will benefit from a spell with West Bromwich Albion.

൩Lankshear has long been a gem of Spurs’ academy, an England under-20 international who is no stranger to scoring a🀅 goal.

And even if chances might be fairly hard to come by at West Brom, who recruited more than one striker last month, Lankshear impressed on his debut.

The youngster played 23 minutes off of the bench against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, a 2-1 win for the Baggies that Lankshear seemed to enjoy꧂.

Lankshear posted on I🏅nstagram after the game sharing a caption of ‘+3 points, thank you to all the fans for the support’.

Moore, who is clearly keeping a keen eye on the striker’s progress, replied saying ‘my🐈 boy’, a post that also received love from the likes of Alfie Dorrington.

Will Lankshear might need to leave Tottenham

Of course, as is the case with a lot of Tottenham’s youngsters out on loan right now, it’ll be interesting to see what first team pat🍸h exists for Lankshear when he returns.

Dominic Solanke certainly isn’t about to lose﷽ his spot either, so would Lan🌌kshear be happy playing third-fiddle?

It’s a difficult one for🧸 the Englishman, who will be 20 when he returns in the summer.

And it’s a similar situation for Donley who is shining at Leyton Orient – two youngsters that fans in N17 will want to get a proper first 🦄te♔am chance.
