Young Tottenham striker Kazaiah Sterling has joined League One outfit Doncaster Rovers, as confirmed by the Yorkshire club’s official website.

Sterling will spend the season with the club, on the back of an unspectacular loan spell with Sunderland last time around.

He said: “I went on loan last season and didn’t play as much as I would have liked but I can use that experience and be ready to kick on this season. I’m hoping to be involved in more games and help the team.

“I’ve come here to play football and I can’t wait to get started on the pitch with the boys. I’m looking forward to getting into it. Spurs have told me to get some independence and show the ability that they believe I have and be myself.”

Some Spurs fans took to Twitter to react when the news was confirmed, and many of them want Sterling to become integrated into the first team picture.

Following the departure of Fernando Llorente, Tottenham look short on striking options, and there has been a hunger for a while for a young alternative for Harry Kane to come through the ranks.

Sterling will hope to follow in the footsteps of Liverpool’s Herbie Kane and Leeds’ Mallik Wilks, who both furthered their reputation at Doncaster last season on loan.
