Mikey Moore's Bundesliga loan with FC Köln hasn't produced the expected results yet, with the Tottenham loanee failing to score at the weekend as Köln were held at home by Schalke. Moore had been impressive off the bench on his debut and in Köln's derby-day victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach earlier this month. The teenager is still waiting for his "magic moment" to ignite his loan, according to Alasdair Gold.
Moore has had a one-on-one chat with Köln manager René Wagner regarding his role and how his spell can improve, according to Bild, as reported by Sport Witness. Wagner stated that Moore is awaiting the moment when things click, having shown promise in Glasgow during his previous loan spell, and that Köln will equip him with the confidence he needs.
Köln are backing Moore to eventually come to the fore, with Wagner noting that some players may not have decided games yet but can and will in the future. Wagner's approach with Moore is similar to Danny Röhl's during Moore's loan spell at Rangers last season, which proved to be a turning point after Röhl's appointment in October.

Source context
Mikey Moore's Bundesliga loan hasn't caught fire just yet, and the Tottenham loanee drew another blank at the weekend as FC Köln were held at home by struggling newly promoted outfit Schalke. While supporters were bullish on the idea of the homegrown Moore becoming a more prominent figure in Lilywhite off the back of a successful season at Rangers, the club ultimately decided to send the teenager away for another loan spell. Roberto De Zerbi couldn't offer him a guarantee of regular first-team football, and there were plenty of clubs on the continent ever so willing to benefit from Moore's exuberant talent.
