Nine games into his loan spell at 1. FC Köln from Tottenham, Mikey Moore is still waiting for his first goal for the Billy Goats.

The 19-year-old was unable to change that in Sunday’s 1-2 derby defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, but Köln head coach René Wagner is confident the breakthrough will come if Moore continues in the same vein.

“He needs to keep working to create these situations for himself and remain brave and confident. Then, sooner or later, he will be rewarded,” Wagner said at a press conference after the game.

While Moore didn’t deliver the attacking output he and Köln had hoped for, Wagner had no complaints about his work rate and commitment.

“You could sense that he wanted to be involved in the challenges today. He defended with passion and threw himself into every ball,” he said.
