Tottenham youngster on target for England’s under-19s.

Tottenham youth sensation Marcus Edwards added to his burgeoning reputation by inspiring England’s under-19 side to a big win.

The promising attacker scored one and created two more as England defeated Belarus 5-1.

Arsenal youngster Chris Willock netted twice, with Manchester City duo Lukas Nmecha and Isaac Buckley-Ricketts also on target.

This was Edwards’ second goal in three games at under-19 level, with the youngster having netted previously for the under-16s, 17s, and 18s.

He turned 18 in December, having made his first team debut for Tottenham at 17 as a late substitute in the EFL Cup against Gillingham.

Edwards has recently been training with the first team squad, and while it remains unlikely he gets a look in this season in the Premier League, he is continuing to show progress, and is putting himself in position to get a chance to show what he can do this summer in pre-season.
