Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Marcus Edwards from Sporting CP during the summer transfer window.
According to a report from the Portuguese publication Record via SportWitness, Tottenham are looking to bring him back to the club and he’s likely to cost around €20-30 million. The report further states that the player has a special connection with the Premier League club and Tottenham could look to submit an offer for him.
Edwards has been a key player for Sporting CP since joining the club and he has six goals and nine assists this season. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for the North London club and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get the deal done.
It is no secret that Tottenham will need to add more quality and depth in the wide areas. They have been overly dependent on Son Heung-min and James Maddison for goals and creativity. Edwards is versatile enough to operate in the wide areas as well as a central attacking midfielder.
He could share the creative and goalscoring burden with the likes of Maddison next season. The opportunity to return to the Premier League will be an exciting one for the player and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Edwards will feel that he has unfinished business at Tottenham and he will look to make his mark in the Premier League.
Tottenham have an exciting project and they will look to compete for trophies next season. Edwards is likely to be attracted to the idea of joining them this summer. The reported asking price seems quite reasonable for a player of his potential and it remains to be seen whether the Tottenham are ready to pay up for him.
