Tottenham could earn £26m from Sporting Lisbon Marcus Edwards sale due to sell-on clause - Paper Round

Edwards could earn Spurs £26m The Telegraph reports that Tottenham could yet earn a huge fee if Marcus Edwards leaves Sporting Lisbon, despite letting him leave for free to Vitoria in 2019. The 23-year-old forward joined Sporting for £9 million this year, and Spurs allowed to forgo their 50% sell-on fee in order to carry it over to his deal at Sporting, where he has a £52m release clause.

If he continues to improve at this rate then Sporting will not be able to keep hold of him, but the clause presents another opportunity, as it will let Tottenham snap up the player for only £26m due to the clause. Read the full story Edwards wants Premier League return Marcus Edwards is keen on a return to the Premier League, reports the Mail. The player said after beating Spurs: “It feels great and I think we deserved it.

We showed how we can play. I wouldn't say extra special, but it was a special feeling to play against Spurs. It was good to see people I know — players and coaching staff.

It's home, so of course I want to come back there [to the Premier League] one day. I just focus on what I'm doing here for now.” Paper Round’s view: Edwards understandably wants to return to his home country but he will not be able to do so until he proves that he can perform like he did consistently. However he already has five goals in 17 league appearances for his new side in the Portuguese league, so he is certainly headed in the right direction.
