Spurs striker joins former club on loan for the remainder of the season
Tottenham have confirmed that forward Kazaiah Sterling has joined Leyton Orient on loan until the end of the season.
The youngster spent the first half of the current season on loan at Doncaster Rovers but just made three appearances for the League One club in a spell which was hampered by injury (transfermarkt).
He has now agreed to drop one tier below to Leyton Orient who are currently in 20th place in League Two.
Sterling knows the club well having previously been part of the junior set-up at Brisbane Road before he signed for Spurs in July 2015 as a 16-year-old.
The striker also had a loan spell at Sunderland in the second half of last season but just like his spell at Doncaster, it didn’t go according to plan.
The 21-year-old revealed his delight at joining the Orient.

Spurs Web Opinion
The loan spell at Doncaster turned out to be a disappointing one for Sterling but hopefully, he will be able to get his career back on track at Orient. If the forward can score a few goals for the O’s and get them up the table, then he could get a decent move in the summer.
