Tottenham Hotspur prospect Marcus Edwards joined Norwich City on loan this week and the talented young midfielder will be determined to make a major impact for his temporary side.

Edwards harbours hopes of eventually making a long-term breakthrough at Tottenham but at Norwich he will be eager to follow in the footsteps of Alex Pritchard.

Pritchard excelled after joining Norwich from Tottenham permanently and saw his value rise to £14 million in the process as he earned a move to Premier League side Huddersfield Town, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Edwards will hope to follow suit by seeing his value rise considerably during his time at Carrow Road and even if he is ultimately unable to succeed at Tottenham, this loan move gives the 19-year-old the opportunity to potentially impress other clubs.

A skillful and creative player, Edwards has been very impressive for Tottenham at U23 level, as demonstrated by the fact that he has scored four goals and provided two assists in nine Premier League 2 appearances.

The important step now for the youngster will be to translate that form onto the senior stage and follow Pritchard by using his time at Norwich to truly establish himself in first-team football.
