Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly looking to add a striker who can also play as an attacking midfielder to Tottenham Hotspur’s team.

Kaziah Sterling could be the player who Tottenham Hotspur are looking for next season.

The London Evening Standard have reported how Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino no longer wants an out and out striker in the transfer window.

Spurs have tried to bring in a number nine to provide competition to Harry Kane, but Vincent Janssen and Fernando Llorente have both tried and failed.

And Tottenham are now devising a different plan this summer.

Spurs want to bring in a player who can play as either a striker or an attacking midfielder, but that man could already be in their squad.

Sterling has shown brilliant form in Spurs’ youth teams this past season, and looks to be on the verge of a breakthrough.

The 19-year-old scored 11 times for Tottenham’s under-19’s side and was rewarded with his first senior appearance in the Champions League.

Sterling, crucially, has the versatility to play in either attacking midfield or as an out and out striker.

And it may be better for Pochettino to look towards the youth team, rather than spending on a new player, as Sterling could be just the man he is looking for.
