Intermediaries have reportedly offered Everton the chance to sign 26-year-old English winger Marcus Edwards from Portuguese club Sporting CP in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Marcus Edwards might return to England after over half a decade. The Sporting CP winger has fallen in stature at the Portuguese club, and intermediaries have offered Everton the opportunity to sign the former Tottenham Hotspur academy ace in the winter transfer window.
Marcus Edwards and his Sporting CP woes
Marcus Edwards has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Sporting CP from Vitoria Guimaraes in January 2022. A native of London, the Englishman spent his formative years in his homeland, rising through the ranks at Tottenham Hotspur and graduating from the youth division at the North London club.
However, the 26-year-old could not establish a foothold in the first-team squad at Tottenham Hotspur and embarked on an adventure in Portugal in September 2019. While Edwards was hot off the gates at Tottenham, his stock has fallen in the last 12 months, with things going from bad to worse under Rui Borges.
The out-of-favour English winger has not even managed 500 minutes of game time across ten appearances in all competitions while chipping in with three goals. So, Edwards might leave Sporting CP in the winter transfer window, and intermediaries have offered Everton the chance to sign him from the Portuguese club.
England return on the horizon?
Recent reports have claimed that Marcus Edwards is a target for Everton, with the Merseyside club submitting an enquiry for the struggling winger. However, TEAMtalk has denied those claims, suggesting that while the Toffees are interested in the Sporting CP outcast, they are yet to approach the Portuguese club for the wide attacker.
Nevertheless, Everton can do with a player like the 26-year-old Englishman, considering Jack Harrison has blown hot and cold this season. So, several wide attackers, including Ernest Nuamah, have emerged on the Merseyside club’s radar. However, Edwards is also an option worth considering.
A deal for the English winger is still some way away, and it will be interesting to see if Everton will approach Sporting CP for talks over a winter move. With Edwards becoming a peripheral figure at the Portuguese club, a deal might be on the cards.
