Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to wish attacking midfielder Marcus Edwards all the best while on loan at Norwich City.
The Championship club announced on their official website and social media channels on Monday evening that the England Under-20 international has joined for the remainder of the campaign.

Edwards, who has risen through the ranks at Tottenham after joining the club at the age of seven, is rated as one of the outstanding young players in England.
But he has made just one substitute appearance for Spurs, which came in the League Cup 16 months ago, and has been criticised by manager Mauricio Pochettino for his attitude and work ethic.
That has not stopped the noise around the teenager, with fans of the club regularly calling for the manager to fast-track the wide forward, who usually plays on the right flank, into the senior squad.
Spurs fans on social media reacted in their droves to the announcement that Edwards is heading to Norwich, with most hoping he rips it up and is afforded plenty of first-team experience.
