Sporting’s Marcus Edwards was linked with a move to West Ham United in January, but the London club never made an approach for him.
The winger has scored six goals and registered nine assists from 43 games in the Lions’ title winning season, yet his future seems to be away from Sporting.
That’s according to Record, who say West Ham could be an option for the 25-year-old in the summer window, with the Hammers having a longstanding interest.
The report says several clubs from the Premier League have followed the player’s situation at the Portuguese club, and West Ham are mentioned.
His deal lasts until 2026, and Sporting are ready to negotiate his sale in the next window. As of now, there are no offers on the table.
With West Ham in the mix, Record state there will be a ‘summit with representatives’ at the end of the season, and the player will then decide the best option for his career.
Faced with the possibility of losing Edwards, the Portuguese champions are looking at the possible candidates who could replace him next season.
They feel that now is the right time to sell and maximise their gains.
