Tottenham Hotspur winger Marcus Edwards is catching attention after just two starts for loan side Excelsior.

We reported yesterday how Edwards’ fine performance at the weekend saw him complete more dribbles than any player on the pitch in a 3-3 draw with Den Haag.

This followed up an assist on his first start for Excelsior a week earlier.

Now he has been named in Dutch magazine Voetball International’s Team of the Week.

Edwards is named as one of the 11 players, including Feyenoord striker and former Premier League star Robin Van Persie.

He is one of two Englishman in the team, alongside ex-Arsenal talent Daniel Crowley, now of Willem II.

The recognition for Edwards is an encouraging early sign for the Tottenham talent.

His spell at Spurs appeared to be hitting a brick wall, omitted from the club’s pre-season tour after a woeful loan spell at Norwich City earlier in 2018.

So far so good in Holland for the England youth international.
