Player to watch – Mikey Moore
Teenager Mikey Moore is making a real name for himself at Tottenham and his cameos in the Premier League this season have got the Spurs fans excited.
The 17-year-old forward made his fifth appearance in the league this season at Goodison Park where he setup his team's second goal in a 302 defeat against Everton.
A young talent with a very bright future
We're really excited to see how Moore develops at Tottenham and wouldn't be surprised to see him get a few minutes against Leicester and have a big impact on the game.
