Marcus Edwards

Marcus Edwards (3 December 1998) is an English footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

Edwards joined the academy system at Tottenham Hotspur at the age of eight. On 2 August 2016, he signed his first professional contract with Tottenham after a protracted period of negotiations amidst interest from other clubs. Edwards joined the Tottenham first team in the summer of 2016 for their pre-season tour and produced some impressive performances in pre-season matches. He was given a squad number of 48 ahead of the 2016-17 season. On 20 September 2016, Mauricio Pochettino compared Edwards to a young Lionel Messi due to his low centre of gravity and ability to beat a man. The next day Edwards made his competitive Tottenham debut in the EFL Cup against Gillingham, coming on as a substitute for the final 15 minutes and striking the crossbar in the final moments of the match.
