Edwards, who has been cap𝔍ped by England up to under🌟-20 level, came through Tottenham's academy before heading to Portugal to join Vitoria de Guimaraes in 2019.
He scored 10 goals in the Primera Liga across two seasons with Vitoria before moving to Sport🃏ing in a €7.7million deal, going on to win a league title under Ruben Amorim last term.
However, he has been limited to jus🐓t six league appearances this season and has now been granted the opportunity to heꦓad out on loan, bolstering Burnley's bid for automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Edwards said of the move: "It feels amazing. Burnley is lik⛦e a Premier League club. I'm really happy to be here.
"The main thing now is to get promoted back to𒈔 the🍒 Premier League. I’m coming here to try and get myself into the team. I hope we can make it over the line this season and I hope Burnley fans will enjoy watching me play too."
Edwards previously worked with Burnley boss Scott Parker when𒅌 the🌌 former midfielder coached in Tottenham's academy.
Burnley are third in the Championship table follo🌜wing Saturday's goalless draw with Portsmouth, which saw them keep an eighth straight clean sheet. However, they have drawn five of their last sevཧen matches 0-0, leading them to reinforce their attacking options.
