JUST NOW: 16-year-old talent called up to training by Ange Postecoglou.
So far this season, we have already seen the likes of Ashley Phillips, Alfie Dorrington, Alejo Veliz, and Jamie Donley given the chance to step up from the youth squad at Tottenham.
While some of the young stars have managed to gain minutes, others have had to make do with the bench, but Ange Postecoglou is making it abundantly clear to the players that there are opportunities to be taken in his squad, regardless of age.

Now, you can add Mikey Moore to the list of prodigious talent getting closer to Postecoglou’s first-team plans, as the 16-year-old has been training with the men’s side this week.
In a post from The Spurs Express on Twitter, Moore was seen training with the senior squad on Monday, January 29th in advance of the Brentford game.

The youngster has been setting the world alight at Under-18 level this season, with nine goals and six assists in just nine appearances (Transfermarkt). If and when he is ready to make the step up to a matchday squad for the first-team remains to be seen.
There is a great degree of buzz surrounding Moore, who was named by The Guardian as Tottenham’s next big star for the future.

It would obviously be too soon for Moore to make his senior debut for Spurs, but if he continues at the rate he is, it won’t be long. We have a real talent on our hands here, and we have to ensure his development runs smoothly, but it’s very exciting to know that he is getting closer to the first team.

Report: How Tottenham feel about Ange Postecoglou exit rumours
Despite speculation linking Ange Postecoglou with a switch to Liverpool at the end of the season, the feeling from within Tottenham Hotspur is that the manager will be staying put, and there are no concerns over his future.
When Ange Postecoglou arrived at Tottenham last summer, he came with many doubters and critics, despite having been successful at every club he has coached before, including a treble-winning campaign at Celtic last year.
Postecoglou quickly proved those doubters wrong, getting impressive performances out of his Spurs side and the results to match. Even with a particularly tricky injury crisis, the Australian has pulled his team out the other side and they remain in contention for a top-four spot this term.
With exciting football, excellent man-management skills, and a charming personality, Postecoglou has won the world of football over and then some. So much so, that he is now being linked with a move away from Spurs already.
Postecoglou is staying put at Tottenham
In the wake of Jurgen Klopp‘s announcement that he would step down as Liverpool manager at the end of the season, it has been claimed that Postecoglou is on the Reds’ shortlist to replace the German (The Athletic).
Now, a report from Football.London has quashed those rumours, suggesting Tottenham are confident their manager is going nowhere any time soon.

The report states Spurs have “no fears” over Postecoglou’s commitment to the project in North London. Having “transformed” the club and provided a “breath of fresh air” for all those connected, Tottenham are keen to keep hold of their manager, naturally.
Links to Manchester City and Liverpool are not worrying for Tottenham, and it is believed Postecoglou is “excited” about the work he has to do at the club. People close to Postecoglou describe him as “loyal” and suggest he sees great “potential” in his current role.
Spurs Web Opinion
Ange Postecoglou is not the kind of man to be swayed by nostalgia or money, so the idea of him abandoning Tottenham after one year to join his boyhood club or to play with the shiny toys at City just doesn’t make sense at all. He’s going nowhere.
