Tottenham striker moves on loan to Southend.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Shayon Harrison moved away from the club on deadline day, clinching a switch on loan to Southend.
Harrison has moved to League One side Southend and is hoping for better fortune than his only previous loan away from Spurs.
This time last year Harrison signed on loan with Yeovil, but it did not go well and he failed to establish himself as a regular starter.
The 20-year-old is hopeful for more success under Southend boss Chris Powell.
He told Southend’s official website that he feels his career needs to take the jump.
He said: “I was injured at the beginning of the season but since I’ve been back I’ve played quite a few games in the U23 side at Spurs. But now I just want to play men’s football regularly and show what I’m about.
“I feel strong and good and can’t wait to get started.”
Harrison made his debut for Tottenham in 2016 but has not featured for the first team since.
The loan deal is a big chance for him to show he can follow in the footsteps of Harry Kane by impressing in the lower leagues.
Positive showings will provide a platform for Harrison to try and prove himself all over again at Spurs in pre-season.
