The 17-year-old is looking like a future Tottenham Hotspur player.
England’s Marcus Edwards
West Ham United talent Reece Oxford has been singing the praises of Tottenham Hotspur talent Marcus Edwards this week.
Tottenham have been giving plenty of young talents a chance under the management of Mauricio Pochettino, with Edwards just one of those who recently made his Spurs debut against Gillingham in the EFL Cup.

The talented 17-year-old has seen himself compared to Barcelona and Argentina legend Lionel Messi and many an expert is tipping him for big things at Spurs.
West Ham have their own teen talent, in the form of defender Oxford. The 17-year-old has played with Edwards as a youth international for many years and when he was at the Spurs academy. He is clearly a big fan of the Tottenham talent.

Speaking to Squawka, as reported by the London Evening Standard, the teenager has called Edwards the best player he has played with at his age:
“I’ve said this before – Marcus Edwards. My age – he’s probably one of the best players I’ve played with.”
There is no doubt that Spurs have a talent on their hands in the form of the talented playmaker Edwards.
With Pochettino in charge he also has a manager that is likely to give him a chance in the Spurs first-team in the weeks and months to come.
The future is certainly looking bright for the Spurs prodigy.
