Tottenham Hotspur is considering bringing back former academy player Marcus Edwards to the club this summer.
The North London team is looking to strengthen their offensive lineup to support manager Ange Postecoglou’s strategy for the upcoming season.
Edwards, now 25, has been impressing in Portugal with Sporting CP, showcasing the flair and creativity that made him stand out in Spurs’ youth system.
As Daniel Levy aims to build a competitive squad across all competitions, signing Edwards could provide additional depth and a unique attacking dimension to the team.
Despite having two years left on his contract with Sporting Lisbon, Edwards is open to returning to the Premier League.
However, Tottenham faces competition for his signature, with Crystal Palace also expressing interest.
Palace is seeking a replacement for Michael Olise, who recently transferred to Bayern Munich.
While Tottenham is currently monitoring the situation, they haven’t made an official move for Edwards yet.
The player might be tempted by the prospect of regular first-team football at Crystal Palace, which could influence his decision between the two clubs.
This potential “homecoming” for Edwards represents an opportunity for Spurs to reacquire a talented player who has developed significantly since leaving their academy.
However, the club will need to act decisively if they want to secure his services ahead of other interested parties.
