Juventus want to use Damien Comolli to lure Tottenham Hotspur gem to Turin

Juventus are now plotting an ambitious move to sign Mikey Moore from Tottenham Hotspur this summer, and they believe that one factor could help them pull off an unlikely deal.

Moore is widely seen as a generational talent, not just in Hotspur Way, but in the broader footballing industry as evidenced by the interest in the 17-year-old’s services.

Over recent weeks, it has been rumoured that Borussia Dortmund and others are eyeing a summer deal for Moore, just a year on from the teenager signing his first professional contract with Spurs.

However, several sources have said that Moore is expected to sign a new contract at Tottenham when he turns 18 in August.

Juventus are plotting a move for Tottenham’s Mikey Moore

According to a report in Gazzetta dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness), Juventus are now ready to push forward with an audacious move to sign the Tottenham academy graduate.

The report says that Moore’s profile appears to the Bianconeri, who want to make him part of their young spine alongside Kenan Yildiz.

Interestingly, the outlet points out that Juve’s general manager, Damien Comolli, who was formerly Tottenham’s director of football, has a very good relationship with the North London club.

Comolli plans to take advantage of this relationship to secure a deal for the England Under-19 international, who is alleged to be valued at €20m (£15.3m) this summer.

Moore’s words suggest that he will remain at Spurs

Spurs fans would not have to be too concerned about these rumours as the 17-year-old winger recently made his intentions clear about his future.

Last week, Moore admitted that he is excited to work with Thomas Frank and to catch the Dane’s eye during pre-season.

Additionally, last month, Moore admitted he cannot wait to taste Champions League football at Tottenham next season, which suggests that the youngster is certainly not planning on exiting Hotspur Way.
