Poland striker Grzegorz Rasiak has left Tottenham Hotspur to join Southampton on loan for the rest of the season with an option of a permanent contract.

The 27 year-old Polish striker has only made 4 Premiership starts for Spurs since arriving last August, and Rasiak admits that’s why he decided to leave the North London club.

“It was hard for me at Tottenham because I did not play much and I need to be playing regularly, ready for the World Cup,” Rasiak told the Southampton FC official club website.

“But that is a long way off and now I have to concentrate on helping Southampton, starting with a big game at Reading on Friday.”

Rasiak has 21 International caps, and has scored 6 goals for Poland.
