It looks like Tottenham Hotspur youngster Marcus Edwards is going from strength to strength while out on loan.

The 20-year-old, who left Spurs to join Dutch side Excelsior last summer, is finally showing the Eredivisie what he can do.

Edwards, once compared to Lionel Messi by Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino [The Independent], dazzled in the 2-1 win over Emmen this afternoon, scoring one and setting up the other.

Here’s how fans of the North London club are reacting to his performance.

Despite an abundance of talent, there have been question marks over Edwards’s personality.

The Telegraph reported that his loan spell at Norwich City during the second half of last season was cut short due to attitude problems, having only played six minutes for City.

But as things stand, Edwards certainly appears to be knuckling down and let his football do the talking – something that Pochettino will consider this summer when deciding whether to keep him next season or loan him out again.
