Tottenham race Crystal Palace to sign Marcus Edwards – sources
Tottenham are keeping tabs on Marcus Edwards’ situation as Crystal Palace ready an offer, sources have told Football Insider.
The 25-year-old is open to a Premier League return this summer despite having two years left on his Sporting Lisbon contract.
The Eagles are in the market for a right-winger following Michael Olise’s move to Bayern Munich, which is a position where Edwards has thrived in Portugal.
However, Spurs could be a rival to Palace’s attempted transfer as the club have asked to be kept informed about Edwards.
Tottenham have not yet made a formal move, but sources say they are monitoring the situation.
Spurs have already successfully hijacked one transfer this summer as they signed Archie Gray from Leeds United.
The central midfielder was set to join Brentford until Tottenham made a late bid, and the club are keeping a close eye on Edwards’ situation to potentially do the same.
