Tottenham striker Kazaiah Sterling has joined Sunderland on loan until the end of the season.

With Mauricio Pochettino’s attacking options limited throughout January, Sterling has been called into the first-team squad in recent weeks.

The 20-year-old was among the subs in the Premier League victory over Fulham before coming off the bench with Spurs chasing the game in their FA Cup defeat to Crystal Palace.
