Sunderland<\/a> have eased their striker worries with the signing of Kazaiah Sterling. The 20-year-old has signed from Tottenham<\/a> until the end of the season. The Black Cats had been hopeful of signing two new strikers; however, with the window closing soon, fans are on the edge of their seats.<\/p>\n

Black Cats Sign Kazaiah Sterling<\/h1>\n

The January transfer window has proved somewhat frustrating for Sunderland. Up until today, the Black Cats had signed just one player; defender Jimmy Dunne from Burnley<\/a> on loan. This morning, winger Lewis Morgan arrived from Celtic until the end of the season.<\/p>\n

However, it was the striker department that was causing the most concern. With Josh Maja<\/a> leaving for Bordeaux, it left manager Jack Ross with just one out-and-out striker. The search has been ongoing for weeks, with many bids being submitted but ultimately rejected. Sterling\u2019s arrival will ease these concerns. However, fans will be hoping a more experienced forward will join.<\/p>\n

Highly Thought Of<\/h2>\n

Kazaiah Sterling is highly thought of at Spurs. He has been a regular in their Premier League 2 side and has also forced his way into the first team squad this season, even though Spurs have world-class players.<\/p>\n

After Harry Kane<\/a> was ruled out with an injury, some thought Sterling would be given an opportunity. However, Spurs believe a move to Sunderland to get game time will be best for his development.<\/p>\n

Jack Ross had this to say on his new signing; \u201cHe\u2019s athletic, good on the ball and has an eye for goal, so he has all the attributes at his disposal to ensure he\u2019s a success during his time at the Stadium of Light.\u201d<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

Attention Turns Elsewhere<\/h2>\n

The Black Cats\u2019\u00a0full attention now turns to bringing in another striker. The Will Grigg<\/a> deal looks dead as Wigan have rejected five bids. John Marquis of Doncaster and several others have been linked. With time running out, it is a case of watch this space.<\/p>\n
