Rangers are keen to bring Mikey Moore back to Ibrox after the Tottenham youngster enjoyed an impressive loan spell in Glasgow last season.
The teenage winger arrived from Spurs with high expectations but needed time to adapt to the demands of Scottish football. Early opportunities were limited, but as the campaign progressed he established himself as one of Rangers' most exciting attacking players.
Moore finished the season with 47 appearances across all competitions, scoring seven goals and registering four assists.
One of his standout moments came in Rangers' Old Firm victory over Celtic, while his consistent performances throughout the campaign saw him collect both the Rangers Young Player of the Year award and the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year honour.
His development during the season exceeded expectations, making a second loan spell an attractive option for both Rangers and Tottenham.
Rangers face competition from Borussia Dortmund
Rangers have made it clear they would welcome Moore back for another season, and the winger is understood to be open to returning to Ibrox after enjoying his first experience of senior football.
However, the Scottish club are no longer alone in the race.
Borussia Dortmund have entered the picture and have held discussions over a potential loan move for the highly-rated England youth international.
The Bundesliga side have earned a strong reputation for developing young players, particularly emerging British talent, meaning Tottenham are expected to carefully consider which destination offers Moore the best environment for his next stage of development.
One factor that could work in Rangers' favour is the structure of any potential deal. Dortmund are believed to favour including an option to buy, something Tottenham are reluctant to agree to as they continue to view Moore as part of the club's long-term plans.
Rangers remain in a strong position
Despite interest from Germany, Rangers still have several important advantages.
Moore already knows the club, has settled into life in Glasgow and has shown he can thrive under the pressure that comes with playing at Ibrox.
A second loan spell would allow him to continue his development without the need to adapt to a new league or environment, while offering the prospect of regular first-team football once again.
Tottenham have already seen the benefits of Moore's time at Rangers, with the winger returning to North London as a more experienced and physically developed player after a breakthrough campaign in Scotland.
With Spurs believed to favour a straight loan rather than any deal involving a permanent transfer option, Rangers remain firmly in contention to re-sign one of last season's standout performers as Derek McInnes continues planning for the new campaign.
