Russell Martin responds to Mikey Moore Rangers transfer links

Russell Martin has responded to reports linking Rangers with Mikey Moore. 

The Ibrox club are favourites to sign the young Tottenham Hotspur forward on loan for the season, with no option or obligation to buy, revealed The Rangers Review earlier this week. 

Martin was asked about Moore at a press conference in Athens this evening ahead of the second leg of his side's second-round Champions League qualifying tie with Panathinaikos. 

He said: "I think I've said to you all the way along that as soon as it's done, you'll be the first guys to know.

"There are lots of players we like, lots that we're linked to. He's a really good player and if at any point he becomes a Rangers player, we will let you know."

Earlier today, Spurs boss Thomas Frank addressed the 17-year-old's future. 

He was quizzed on the significance of Moore getting regular senior minutes: "It is very important," he said. "Mikey is a big talent.

"I’m really excited about his future here at Tottenham.

"I think for all players but especially younger players they need consistent first-team football into their bodies.

"I think if we can find the right option we will do that."
