He was loaned out to Norwich City and Dutch club Excelsior and there is a concern that he feels he was not given the chances he deserved to become a first-team star.
Indeed, such is that concern that one source familiar with the player’s situation has claimed that he would much prefer a move to Arsenal.
It is not known if the Gunners have expressed an interest in securing his signature, but it suggests that there is a bad feeling lingering over Edwards’ departure.
It must be mentioned, though, that if Arsenal do decide to take a gamble on the former England U20 international, they will essentially be placing cash in the pockets of their bitter rivals, due to the aforementioned sell-on clause.
Wouldn't surprise me if he went to Arsenal. London club, he's mates with Nelson, has Willock there and Nketiah there. Seem to be getting a fair amount of chances between them.
Would be horrible to see.
Bare in mind that this is the Portuguese league we're talking about. We've seen many talented players coming over to England, France, Italy etc. and never quite made it. It's not the same tempo and physical play as it is i.e. Premier League.
Edit; why is this thread in the loan watch thread?
I know. I think I've said that before. We bought Fernandes from there though so people clearly see it as a decent gauge to judge some players
