Tottenham Hotspur youngster Marcus Edwards is hoping to strike up a partnership with his Arsenal rival when they represent England this evening.

Edwards posted a photo on his Instagram page alongside young Gunners ace Chris Willock while on international duty.

The duo have been called into England’s under-19 squad, and are currently in Croatia for a friendly fixture which takes place tongiht (7/10).

It is Edwards’ first involvement with England’s under-19 side, and a reward for the positive progress he has made at club level this season.

The 17-year-old made his first team debut in the EFL Cup win over Gillingham last month, and almost scored during his late cameo.
