Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly promoted Kazaiah Sterling.
Football London has reported that Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino could name young striker Kazaiah Sterling in the squad for tomorrow’s clash with Fulham.
Tottenham travel across London for a derby with the Cottagers in what will be their first game since the news broke about Harry Kane.
Pochettino will be without his talisman until March at the earliest after the red-hot striker suffered an ankle injury in last week’s 1-0 defeat by Manchester United.
And according to Football London, 20-year-old Sterling is in line to make the squad after Pochettino pulled him out of an Under-23 game on Friday.
The report adds that Sterling trained with Pochettino’s first team and it seems likely that he could be named on the bench.
Sterling, who made his debut for Tottenham last season in the Champions League game against Apoel, hasn’t yet made a Premier League appearance for the North Londoners.
With Lucas Moura also expected to miss tomorrow’s trip to Craven Cottage, and Son Heung-min being absent due to Asia Cup commitments, Fernando Llorente is likely to spearhead Tottenham’s attack.
