Marcus Edwards finally left Tottenham in the summer.

Once rated as one of Tottenham Hotspur’s brightest young talents, Marcus Edwards is attempting to rebuild his career in Portugal.

Edwards made the move to top flight side Vitoria in the summer, after Spurs made clear that he had no future in North London.

At the weekend the young winger made his first game for Vitoria, coming off the bench for the final 34 minutes.

Edwards made a bright impression and nearly scored a long range effort after an excellent individual run.

Edwards is now 20 and needs to play regular football.

The move to Portugal will be challenging for him, but a season in Holland on loan last year will help with the experience of living abroad.

Edwards’ only previous appearance for Vitoria had come in an 18 minute cameo in a cup competition. Now he is getting league minutes, it is a good sign.
