Burnley FC has signed winger Marcus Edwards on loan from Sporting CP until season's end, aiming to bolster their attacking lineup for promotion efforts. Edwards, a former Tottenham academy player, had limited appearances this season and expressed enthusiasm about joining a club he considers 'like a Premier League club.' He highlighted the influence of Burnley manager Scott Parker, with whom he previously worked, on his decision to make the move. Burnley sits third in the Championship but struggles to secure wins, drawing five of their last seven matches.
Edwards said of the move: "It feels amazing. Burnley is like a Premier League club. I'm really happy to be here... I hope Burnley fans will enjoy watching me play too."
Marcus Edwards discusses the impact Scott Parker had on his decision to sign for The Clarets, stating, "He's the main reason why I am here."
