Tottenham man holds 'one on one' conversation with manager – Everyone wants more

Moore has spoken with Köln manager Wagner about adding goals to his loan spell; the 19-year-old has made five Bundesliga appearances with one assist but is yet to score.

Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore joined Köln on loan at the end of summer to gain regular playing time after being pushed down the pecking order at Spurs following their forward-line investment. The 19-year-old has featured in five Bundesliga matches, appearing in 70% of available minutes and starting 60% of the time, with one assist to his name.

However, Moore is still waiting for his first goal, which Köln sporting director Thomas Kessler and manager René Wagner see as crucial for his development. Wagner held a one-on-one conversation with the youngster this week to address the issue. "He's longing for that one moment—for things to finally click!" Wagner said. "In this league, he's capable of beating almost any opponent in a one-on-one situation."

Köln legend Pierre Littbarski has also weighed in, expressing hope that Moore will start scoring while praising his movement, pace and willingness to take risks. Tottenham are monitoring his progress closely this season, with the loan deal containing no option to buy.
