Chelsea are looking to improve their attacking options and they are keeping tabs on the Sporting Lisbon winger Marcus Edwards.
With 6 goals and 8 assists in all competitions, the 25-year-old has been performing excellently for the Portuguese club.
According to Team Talk, Chelsea are keeping a close eye on the former Tottenham winger and may make an official bid at the end of the season.
Chelsea need to strengthen their squad to compete for trophies and return to the Champions League.
A winger who can score goals would be ideal for them. Edwards can also play as an attacking midfielder in the center. He has attracted interest from the Premier League before.
Edwards did not impress at Tottenham during his previous stint in English football and he will be eager to prove himself in the Premier League in the future.
It remains to be seen if Edwards is interested in a move to Chelsea.
Despite their recent woes, Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world and most players would find it hard to reject them.
Edwards will bring creativity and goals to the Chelsea attack.
Marcus Edwards Transfer: Chelsea to move for him?
However, the 25 year old might fancy joining a big club capable of challenging for major trophies. While there is no doubt that Chelsea have the resources to compete at the highest level, they are going through a rough patch right now and they are unlikely to secure European qualification next season.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Edwards has a €60 million release clause in his contract and he is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition.
