Tottenham have confirmed Marcus Edwards has joined Dutch Eredivisie side Excelsior Rotterdam on loan. The 19-year-old has struggled for playing time under Mauricio Pochettino and has opted to make the temporary move away from White Hart Lane in a bid to get first-team football at a competitive level.
Edwards has risen through the youth ranks to the fringes of the Tottenham first-team, making one appearance at senior level. He’s racked up 28 appearances for the u23s and needs regular playing time rather than playing in the reserve team.
The young right-winger spent half of last season out on loan with Norwich City, but he only made one appearance for the Canaries.
