West Ham United are interested in former Spurs youngster Marcus Edwards, according to a report from Portuguese outlet Record. Edwards, currently a midfielder for Sporting CP, has emerged as a potential target for the Hammers.
The 25-year-old Edwards might be on his way out of Portugal after struggling to secure regular playing time under manager Ruben Amorim in the second half of the season. Sporting’s management considers him a “negotiable player,” indicating their openness to offers.
West Ham are one of several clubs keeping a close eye on Edwards’ situation. They have already initiated contact with his representatives to explore his interest in a return to England.
Sporting CP is determined to recoup a significant fee for Edwards. While their initial asking price is set at €20 million, they are likely to negotiate for a higher figure.
Edwards has previously expressed his desire to return to England, potentially making West Ham a more appealing option. He has even been working with a physical trainer in London, further fueling speculation about a possible transfer.
West Ham hasn’t yet directly approached Sporting CP, but their contact with Edwards’ representatives suggests a growing interest. Official negotiations will be crucial in determining the transfer’s success.
West Ham’s potential pursuit of Edwards presents an interesting opportunity. However, successfully navigating negotiations with Sporting will be a key factor in bringing him back to England.
Total blx. Simon… go away.
