George Marsh has joined Leyton Orient on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.
As announced on Orient’s official website, the League Two outfit have secured the services of Marsh on loan from Premier League outfit Tottenham in the summer transfer window.
The 20-year-old midfielder will stay on loan at The Breyer Group Stadium until January.
Orient interim manager Embleton has explained the club’s decision to bring Marsh – who can also operate as a central defender or as a right-back – on loan from Spurs.
Embleton told Orient’s official website: “I’ve been quoted before saying that any young players we bring in on loan, especially on their first loan experience, it is really important that we get the right character and a player suited to the level of football they are coming in to.
“George and the way he is and the level of intensity in how he works certainly gives him the opportunity to make this a successful loan period for him and make a big impression on us.”
Good move for George Marsh?
Marsh has played for the Tottenham first team already, but the midfielder is not ready yet to feature regularly for the senior side.
Orient are an ambitious club, and League Two is a good and competitive domestic league for the midfielder to learn his trade.
If Marsh does well in the first half of the season and gets some good playing time at Orient, then he could find himself in the Tottenham senior side after January.
