Speaking on Reach’s new Euro Thrash podcast – which you can find on YouTube, Apple and Spotify – Edwards said: “I thought it was over for me in the England camp. When I was just coming up with social media, I went to the England camp and was like ‘wow, I’m really here at St George’s Park’.
“My boy Raheem Sterling took me in there, many years ago. I was new to social media and I was going up the lift and was doing a Snapchat, ‘I’m at St George’s’ and all that. There was a player at the lift and it was Oxlade-Chamberlain, so I put my phone up, said ‘there’s a player, it’s Oxlade-Chamberlain’.
“I put my phone down, went into the room and security was like ‘make sure you’re not putting that thing up’. I went into the room with Raheem and then Oxlade-Chamberlain comes in saying ‘what did you do?!’
“I was the one who announced that he had signed for Liverpool. At the lift, he was wearing the Liverpool kit, but he was still at Arsenal.
