According to reports in Portuguese outlet Record (h/t Football.london), Tottenham are interested in re-signing former academy prospect Marcus Edwards from Vitoria Guimaraes in the summer.

The 21-year-old Edwards came through the youth ranks at our club and had been tipped for great things, with former boss Mauricio Pochettino even comparing the youngster to Lionel Messi at one point. (h/t Sky Sports)

However, the forward failed to make the grade to the first-team and after a couple of loan spells away at Norwich City and Excelsior, he joined Vitoria permanently last summer. Since joining the Portuguese club though, the youngster has found his mojo back, bagging 7 goals and 7 assists in 30 matches across all competitions.
