Tottenham are enjoying a strong run of form, surpassing Liverpool and Tamworth after last year’s inconsistent performances. Having a wealth of talented academy players, the standout among them is Mikey Moore, who continues to impress both fans and pundits. His latest display against Tamworth in the FA Cup third round further highlighted his potential. However, Martin Allen warns that Tottenham might need to sell some of their academy stars to meet PSR regulations.
Martin Allen has suggested that Tottenham may offload some of their academy players to generate transfer funds for future signings. However, he believes Mikey Moore is unlikely to be among those Daniel Levy decides to sell. Speaking to Tottenham News, the BBC Radio London pundit expressed regret over the likelihood of Spurs being compelled to part ways with homegrown talent due to the PSR regulations.
Tottenham May Cash In on Mikey Moore in the Future
Mikey Moore, the academy graduate, is quickly becoming a standout player, with an impressive 32 goal contributions in just 24 games. Having made his debut at the age of 16, the 17-year-old has already featured 11 times for the senior squad.
Despite the current regulations that could force Spurs to sell homegrown talent, Martin Allen expressed his disappointment. He noted that Tottenham would likely focus on players who have progressed through the academy to the first team. While Allen believes Mikey Moore is unlikely to be sold, he suggested that other players may be considered for sale in the summer.
The club could give these players the rest of the season to prove their value, with the challenge being how to generate funds from those sales. While this is a positive sign for the club, it also makes the winger an attractive prospect for clubs across Europe, potentially leading to a substantial transfer fee for Daniel Levy and his team.
BBC Radio London pundit Martin Allen speaking to Tottenham News
“It’s a shame that Spurs will probably forced by this ruling to sell homegrown talent.
“I don’t agree with it but it is the way it is at the moment with these rules.
“Tottenham will be looking at players who have done well at academy level coming through to the first team.”
“I don’t think they will sell Mikey Moore. He’s an excellent player, but there may be others that are being looked at to be cashed in on in the summer.”

With the emergence of talents like the Englishman and Will Lankshear, Tottenham has a wealth of young potential that could contribute to improving the financial situation in North London if necessary. However, it’s clear that supporters would be furious if either of them were sold at a stage when they have so much to offer the club.
