As Oliver Glasner prepares for the summer transfer window to boost his team, Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in Sporting CP winger Marcus Edwards.
Marcus Edwards, a former Tottenham youth player, has been connected to a move to Selhurst Park.

The 25-year-old Edwards is reportedly “one of Glasner’s requests” for the upcoming season, according to reports from the Portuguese news source A Bola.
Although the manager obviously thinks highly of the Sporting CP star, there could be a small hitch because the player’s release clause is set at €60 million (£57 million), a price that might be decreased if the correct amount is offered.
Having come through the ranks at Tottenham, Edwards has made an impression in Portugal.
The London-born winger has thrived since joining Sporting in 2022, making 104 appearances in all competitions and assisting on 46 goals.

The Englishman has contributed 14 goals this season, including six goals and eight assists, giving Glasner’s offense a taste of what he may be able to offer.
The former Spurs player often plays as the right-winger, which means he could be the ideal replacement of Olise, who might leave the club at the end of the season.
It is up to Glasner now to show his intention of signing the Sporting star but there should be no doubt about his quality and what he can offer.
