Marcus Edwards, 22, is Sporting’s set target for the 2019/2020 season and will be under attack by Leonen’s management in this summer transfer window. The winger plays for Vitoria de Guimarães, but 50 per cent of the pass belongs to Tottenham, which, according to A BOLA, will facilitate the acquisition of the Greens and Whites, through a strategic partnership.
