With Johan Lange and Vinai, we have to find the best solution.”However, one wonders in hindsight if the Tottenham boss would have been better off playing the teenager regularly in his starting eleven.READ MORE: Tottenham to MotoGP, Spurs are set to lose Chief Revenue Officer after record £565m incomeThe post Video: Tottenham's Mikey Moore scores for England U20s vs Italy as captain appeared first on Spurs Web.
