The Tottenham Hotspur teenager will reportedly move up to regular first-team training next season.
According to a report from Football.London, Tottenham Hotspur teenager Kazaiah Sterling will be training with the first-team next season, so has the 18-year-old leapfrogged Shayon Harrison in the pecking order at White Hart Lane?
The latter spent the last few months on loan at Yeovil Town, but his return of just one goal in 15 appearances has done little to justify a place in Spurs’ senior side next season.
At the start of the campaign, Harrison was seen as the next likely player to break through at Tottenham, but Sterling may now have stolen that particular crown.
After all, while Harrison has been struggling for game time at Yeovil – and his lack of minutes is definitely a factor in his disappointing goal-return – Sterling has been impressing in both the FA Youth Cup and Tottenham’s under-23 side.
The 18-year-old scored for fun in the cup competition prior to Tottenham’s exit and he has impressed for the second string, seemingly earning a promotion in the process.
Harrison may fight his way back into Pochettino’s good books during the upcoming pre-season campaign. However it will be interesting to see if it is the younger of the two players who earns his senior debut first.
