What will be will be
Sounds like he's been successfully tapped up and will be off to City or something.
They will kill his career with loans to a few clubs.
This! It's a nothing story. If he hadn't of signed, he would be able to leave now, he wouldn't have to wait until 2017 and if he did sign, the maximum he length of time he could is 2 years, taking it to 2017.I thought the rules that players his age could only sign contracts that are a maximum of 2 years in length?
If that is the case and he did sign in december he'd be able to leave in 2017 anyway.
For those who have not seen Edwards - he is small and very slight, and because of that this is his first real reason at u18 football, and he's not yet been in u21's because of his physical size
i'm not sure i agree with this, to me he looks visibly far more built now than he did a year ago.
Think this is very likely. By all accounts he is good friends with Reece Oxford who is already near a first team despite being less talented. Maybe this is frustrating him.I wonder if it's money or he feels he should be playing in a higher age group - ie U21s and bring fast tracked into the first team...

He is wearing an U21 shirt in the pic on that Guardian article though, so he must be getting (or at least have had) a chance here and there at that level...
He's not played in any u21 League game, nor any Spurs X! match open to the public.
Sorry mate, I don't mean to pick holes as I really appreciate your posts on youth team matters, but he does seem to have been slipped into this U21 game against Reading at least. I looked up the pic the Guardian have used (which clearly shows U21 Premier league patches on both players' shirts) and it is this one:

If you click or hover on the pic, you get the date in the caption: "Marcus Edwards of Spurs in action with Andy Rinomhota of Reading during the Barclays U21 Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Reading at The Lamex Stadium on September 14, 2015 in Stevenage, England."
Watch out for Norwich game coming up.He's not played in any u21 League game, nor any Spurs X! match open to the public.
