Sunderland have signed Tottenham Hotspur youngster on loan.
Kazaiah Sterling has left Tottenham Hotspur on loan to sign for Sunderland until the rest of the season, the Black Cats confirmed.
The England youth international featured for Spurs in the FA Cup against Sunderland and some fans had wanted to see him get opportunities in place of Fernando Llorente.
Mauricio Pochettino took a different view and Sterling now has his first chance to impress out on loan.
Sunderland are flying high in League One, pushing for promotion back to the Championship.
The move to the Black Cats is a good opportunity for the youngster to impress.
The problem is Sunderland supporters wanted a bigger name, or a more proven striker as they look to replace top scorer Josh Maja.
Maja has left to sign for Bordeaux (via BBC) and Sterling has big shoes to fill.
Opinion was split on Sterling’s move. Some were left underwhelmed, others simply glad to have a new face and are looking forward to giving the Tottenham youngster a chance.
Here is a look at how Sunderland fans reacted on Twitter to the deal…
