Edwards joined the academy system at Tottenham Hotspur at the age of eight and progressed through the ranks. On 2 August 2016, he signed his first professional contract with Tottenham after a protracted period of negotiations amidst interest from other clubs.

The next day Edwards made his competitive Tottenham debut in the EFL Cup against Gillingham, coming on as a substitute for the final 15 minutes where he forced a save from Gills keeper Stuart Nelson. However, he injured his ankle in October 2016 which required surgery, and was sidelined for a long period to recover from the injury. On 29 July 2017, Edwards signed a new contract at Tottenham, keeping him at the club until 2020. In the UEFA Youth League, Edwards started well as captain when he scored twice in a 4–0 win over Borussia Dortmund on 13 September 2017.

He scored two goals in 25 appearances for club with four assists, and although he scored a goal in the relegation play-offs, Excelsior was relegated.
