Record (as relayed by Sport Witness) have claimed that while Sporting Lisbon have begun talks with Marcus Edwards over a new contract, the winger continues to dream of playing in the Premier League.
Edwards has been continually linked with a return to Spurs over recent years, with the Tottenham academy graduate having plenty of success in the Portuguese top flight.
The latest such report came from O Jogo, who claimed last month that the North London club are continuing to follow the winger’s progress and even ‘recently’ made contact with the Portuguese club about the player’s availability.
The outlet explained that while Spurs initially had a 50 per cent sell-on clause for the 24-year-old, they gave up 15 per cent as part of the deal to bring Pedro Porro from Jose Alvalade Stadium to N17 back in January.

Marcus Edwards in talks over new Sporting deal
Record have now claimed that Sporting have begun talks with Edwards’ camp over a new contract, with the Lions willing to raise his salary from €700k (£600k) to €1m (£860k).
However, they suggest that Premier League clubs continue to circle over the silky left-footer, naming Tottenham and Chelsea as interested clubs.
The report adds that Edwards continues to harbour the ‘dream’ of playing in the Premier League and getting a call-up to the England squad.
Spurs Web Opinion
Edwards has made an ordinary start to the new season and his form during the latter stages of last campaign also left a lot to be desired. So, I suspect that the likes of Spurs and Chelsea would have cooled their interest in the 24-year-old.
