Tottenham’s Marcus Edwards to be loaned to Championship club
• Mauricio Pochettino accepts Edwards needs regular senior football
• Midfielder was in England squad that won Euro under-19 title
Mauricio Pochettino will sanction a Championship loan for Marcus Edwards this month. A host of clubs have declared their interest in the 19-year-old Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder and the situation is expected to move quickly in the coming days.
Edwards, who made his Tottenham debut as a substitute in the EFL Cup against Gillingham in September 2016, has been unable to force himself back into first-team contention this season.
Pochettino has come to accept that Edwards is at a stage of his development where he needs to experience regular senior football and he considers a loan to the Championship as the ideal short-term solution.
The manager continues to see a pathway at Tottenham for Edwards, who is so talented that he has acquired the nickname “Mini Messi” at the club. He was a part of the England squad that won the European Under-19 Championship last July.
