Crystal Palace target Marcus Edwards would favour a return to his former club Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs have been linked with their former academy graduate Marcus Edwards as they look to add more depth to the flanks. Crystal Palace are pushing hard for his signature but according to Record, the Sporting CP forward wants to return to his former club instead.
Edwards came up the ranks at Tottenham and was a part of their club for 12 years before joining Vitória Guimarães in 2019. Spurs secured a 50% sell-on clause when they decided to part ways with the winger. While he did make a move to Sporting CP in the winter of 2022, Tottenham are still entitled to 30% of his future sell-on fee.
The 25-year-old is an important part of Ruben Amorim’s first team and he even contributed towards 15 goals (6 goals, 9 assists) last season. While he still has two years left on his deal, the player seems keen on making a return to England and he could be available for a fee of around €20-30 million this summer.
Crystal Palace are the ones interested in signing him. Their manager Oliver Glasner is a big admirer of the winger and would love to have him at his disposal. He wanted to sign him during his time at Eintracht Frankfurt. While it didn’t happen back then, Glasner is pushing for it now.
The Eagles want to add him to their squad in the summer but the player is not interested in a move to Selhurst Park. He wants to join his childhood club Tottenham and since Spurs will get a heavy discount as they still hold over 30% of his future sales, they could look at him as a bargain option to reinforce their attack.
