'Neymar' praise won't affect Moore - Postecoglou

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou says comparisons to Brazil forward Neymar will not affect teenage midfielder Mikey Moore.

The 17-year-old, who signed his first professional contract with the club in August, starred in Spurs' 1-0 Europa League win against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday.

Despite it being Moore's second start for the club, team-mate James Maddison likened the playmaker to Al-Hilal striker Neymar following the victory.

Postecoglou, though, says the club will be patient with Moore and he will not get distracted by the praise.

"I think we all understand with young players, you have to be careful but after the game, I don't get the sense that that's going to affect Mikey at all," said Postecoglou.
