Spurs have their own Bukayo Saka & he’s “the best prospect in the country”

Tottenham Hotspur is a club that has often been home to several elite level strikers, many of whom have captured the hearts of fans in the process.

Harry Kane will remain the Lilywhites’ all-time top goalscorer, with his impressive numbers during his decade-long spell in north London backing up such claims.

The Englishman scored 280 goals in 435 matches he played for the club, then breaking the record set by the late Jimmy Greaves.

He also formed a lethal partnership with Heung-Min Son during his time in the first team, with the pair connecting on 47 occasions – the most duels in Premier League history.

However, current coach Thomas Frank has been unable to rely on either star after taking over the reins during the off-season, having both been sold in the past few years.

Many other teams currently boast players with similar characteristics, which has seen them often provide the goods on a consistent basis against them in the Premier League.

The pain that Bukayo Saka caused Tottenham in the Premier League

The North London derby is one of the first dates that all Tottenham fans look to in the calendar each year, with a match like this holding huge importance in terms of bragging rights.

Winger Bukayo Saka has been a player that Lilywhites supporters have certainly envied over the past few years, with the Englishman often being the one creating the goods against the Lilywhites.

He has helped Mikel Arteta’s side to several victories in clashes between the two sides in recent years, causing pain for the Lilywhites faithful as a result.

After making his debut with the Gunners five years ago, he participated in 10 matches against Tottenham, even scoring in 50% of the matches in which he participated.

From individual efforts, as seen in the encounter in April 2024, to Gabriel’s assists in the encounter at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – Saka has consistently proven to be a nuisance.

Given the form he has achieved in the Premier League over the past two years, Lilywhites fans would no doubt have wished they had a player of his caliber in their ranks.

The Tottenham star who could be their answer to Saka

At present, Tottenham manager Frank has many attacking options at his disposal, but many of them have failed to meet expectations in 2025/26 so far.

Brennan Johnson has fallen down the pecking order following the Dane’s arrival, and has since started just five of the club’s 11 Premier League matches this season.

The Welshman scored only two goals, but failed to match the levels he showed last season, which saw him score on 18 occasions in all competitions.

His failures have given youngsters like Wilson Odubert the chance to impress in north London, but the manager will no doubt want more options from the left flank.

Son’s departure ushered in an elite talent into the squad, leaving a huge hole for one player to fill in the long-term future under Frank.

Mickey Moore could prove to be a beneficiary in the coming years, with the teenager deserving of a steady career in the first team to allow him to reach his full potential.

The 18-year-old made 19 appearances in all competitions last season, taking advantage of an injury crisis and scoring his first first-team goal in the Europa League.

However, he was sent out on loan to Rangers this season in a bid to gain valuable first-team minutes elsewhere to help his development and build on last season’s success.

During his temporary stint in Scotland, the teenager has shown glimpses of his quality, and then scored his first goal for Danny Ruhl’s side against Dundee last weekend.

Key figures such as 1.7 dribbles completed per 90 and 7.7 ball retrievals per 90 also point to his all-round talents – something extremely rare given his young age.

Moore’s performances at Rangers earned him high praise from analysts at Spurs, with one describing the winger as “the best player prospect in the country”.

However, it is important that the club manages the youngster’s expectations, especially if he wants to reach the levels that many people in north London know he is capable of.

Fans have reason to be excited, though, as Moore’s rise through the academy and his immediate impact as a teenager closely resemble Saka’s emergence at Arsenal.

Like his compatriot, he has the tools to make a name for himself in the north London derby, and then give fans memories to cherish in such an iconic match.

If he continues on his current trajectory, there is no reason why the youngster can’t play a big role in Tottenham’s first team, which could help Frank claim additional silverware in the near future.
