Tottenham seem be making moves ahead of January and have sent scouts this weekend to watch Sporting Lisbon flyer, Marcus Edwards.

Edwards has grown into one of Europe's most promising wingers since making the decision to leave Spurs and chance his arm in Portugal.

Since then, the young Englishman has proved he can do it and Tottenham are among the teams to be credited with holding an interest in him of late.

Edwards played his part in a thrilling encounter with Benfica, with the home side coming out on top thanks to two late goals in injury time.

Tottenham looking closely at Marcus Edwards Lauded by Pedro Porro as being an 'extraordinary' player, Edwards would be more than welcome back to Tottenham and the Premier League it seems.

It's clear that Edwards has made great strides since moving on from the Premier League and like most top players, he probably wants to come back eventually and prove his point.

However, there are a few players who have done the same and not quite done it back in England.

Jadon Sancho is a big example of how leaving a good vibe somewhere in another European league can go wrong.

But with Edwards, there does seem to be an excitement about him and with how Spurs are now playing under Postecoglou, you feel he would be hard pushed to fail back in north London.

Edwards is an exciting talent and Spurs fans would no doubt love to see him back and producing the goods for them.
