Sheffield United should look again at dealing with Tottenham Hotspur.
Sheffield United have had some success this season with the form of loanee Cameron Carter-Vickers, despite a small dip over the last month.
The Tottenham Hotspur defender has proved useful acquisition from Spurs, and the Blades should attempt another similar deal for his teammate in January.
England youth international Marcus Edwards is rated as one of the country’s best prospects, and made his first team debut last year.
But he has found chances tough to come by since, and supporters have been frustrated by the dazzling winger’s lack of opportunities.
A loan deal is the perfect solution, and in Sheffield United, Tottenham have a club which they can trust with the development of their young players.
United tried and failed to sign West Ham’s Domingos Quina on deadline day, but Edwards could be an even better prospect.
Mauricio Pochettino famously compared Edwards to Lionel Messi in 2016 – and that alone should be enough to demonstrate his quite outrageous potential.
With Tottenham’s Carabao Cup involvement passing without Edwards getting a chance, heading out on loan is ideal for the 19-year-old.
He has eight goals in 15 games at youth level this season for his club, and deserves a shot in the Championship to see if he can cut it.
Edwards could just provide the spark that high flying Sheffield United need to keep their promotion hopes going during the second half of the season.
