Tottenham Hotspur can re-sign Marcus Edwards for €20 million

Tottenham Hotspur can re-sign their former youth product Marcus Edwards from Sporting CP for €20 million.

According to Correio da Manha via SportWitness, Tottenham are looking at ways to reinforce their squad ahead of next season and they are considering bringing Marcus Edwards back to the club. Their former youth product could help fulfil the homegrown quota and is available for an attractive price of €20 million.

Edwards left the English club in the summer of 2019 to join Vitória. On the back of his impressive performances in Liga Portugal, Sporting CP added him to their ranks in the winter of 2022. He has been a consistent performer for them over the years.

In the 2023/24 campaign, the 25-year-old winger contributed towards 15 goals (6 goals, 9 assists) in just over 2,300 minutes of first-team football. While Edwards still has two years left on his deal at Sporting, Tottenham are looking to bring him back to the club.

Ange Postecoglou is keen on adding more depth and quality to his attack. The North London are looking to make multiple signing to boost their attack and their former youth product could be a great option to have. He has an understanding of English football and is capable enough to feature on both flanks as well as a number ten when needed.

Tottenham want Edwards for specific reasons

There are reasons why Tottenham are looking to bring Edwards back. He will not only add depth to their attack but will also help them fulfil the Premier League’s regulations related to the percentage of home-grown players.

More importantly, he will be available to them for a cut-price fee because they still own a percentage of his future sales. The North London club still own 35% of the player rights, as a result, they will get a heavy discount on the actual price.

Spurs see him as the best option to sort out their homegrown quota issue while the player is keen on making a return to England. As a result, it is now up to the clubs to reach an agreement. According to the report, €20 million should be enough for Tottenham to re-sign their player from Sporting.
