Sunderland sign DeAndre Yedlin on loan from Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur defender DeAndre Yedlin has completed a loan move to Sunderland.

Yedlin has struggled for opportunities at White Hart Lane, making just one senior appearance for the club, but can now prove himself in the Premier League at the Stadium of Light after moving to the North-East for the rest of the season.

The 22-year-old told the club's official website: "I'm delighted to be given the opportunity to play for a club with such great history.

"I've heard fantastic things about Sunderland and the supporters from Claudio Reyna and Jozy Altidore. Claudio speaks very highly of Dick Advocaat from his time at Rangers."

Yedlin has won 23 caps for the United States.
