'He's a man already' - Maddison on Moore

Tottenham's James Maddison has praised his young team-mate Mikey Moore, saying the 17-year-old forward is "a man already".

Moore has appeared twice in the Premier League and once in the Europa League so far this season off the bench and will be hoping to feature when Spurs travel to Budapest to face Ferencvaros on Thursday.

"Mikey - I have to sometimes pinch myself and remember how young he is," said Maddison, 10 years Moore's senior at 27.

"He's 17 and came into the group when he was 16. He's a man already. When I watch him play, he's very powerful and only going to get stronger as his body grows.

"He's a great kid. A really well-mannered, polite young man and that's a credit to his parents. That's the first thing you look to as a senior player. And then there's that ability which we see in training all the time and the Spurs fans want to see more of.

"I try to think of what the 17-year-old James Maddison would want to hear from a senior player and it's to be treated like a man but also give advice whenever possible."
