Thanks to a double swoop for 185 million euros! 1. FC Cologne’s transfer coup apparently on the verge of completion

1. FC Cologne could apparently strengthen their attack shortly before the end of the transfer window. The decisive factor is a spectacular double transfer coup.

According to Bild, the signing of Mikey Moore is imminent. The 19-year-old Tottenham Hotspur player is said to have agreed terms some time ago. Now coach Roberto De Zerbi has reportedly also given the green light for a loan move.

At first, the Spurs coach had held back because he was counting on Moore. The teenager even started Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Brentford in the north London club's Premier League opener. But the squad situation is set to ease in the coming days, with Tottenham on the verge of a double transfer swoop.

English media are unanimously reporting that Spurs have agreed a deal with Manchester City for Savinho and Omar Marmoush. A total of €185 million in transfer fees is said to be involved for the duo. Both now barely feature for the Sky Blues under Pep Guardiola's successor Enzo Maresca.

What are Mikey Moore's statistics and what role is he supposed to play at 1. FC Cologne?

De Zerbi has apparently been pushing internally, insisting he urgently needs new signings. The Italian also alluded to that again after the defeat to Brentford, when he explicitly singled out even Moore in a Spurs side that was completely below par. "We were not ready to win the duels. We made a lot of mistakes in pressing with Mikey Moore," he said.

At Cologne, Moore could fill the right-wing role vacated by Jakub Kaminski, who moved to Benfica Lisbon, and provide the counterpart to Said El Mala, who recently surprisingly extended his contract with the Billy Goats. The club had previously failed to find common ground with BVB, among others.

Last season, Moore was on loan at Rangers. Across 47 appearances in all competitions, he scored seven goals and provided four assists.
