Wales Make Approach to Tottenham Teen Mikey Moore Over International Switch

Moore remains undecided under FIFA rules that permit a one-time change before age 21.

Overview

  • BBC Sport Wales reports the FAW has contacted the 18-year-old winger, with head coach Craig Bellamy among those to speak with him.
  • The London-born Rangers loanee has represented England at under-19 level but qualifies for Wales through a grandparent.
  • Moore joined Rangers on loan in August and has made six appearances in all competitions this season.
  • He is not cap-tied, as FIFA rules allow a switch if a player has played no more than three senior competitive matches before turning 21, with finals appearances excluded.
  • The Tottenham academy graduate is Spurs’ youngest Premier League player and the youngest English scorer in a major European competition.
