EXCLUSIVE: Crystal Palace submit €15m bid to sign English winger as Oliver Glasner looks to replace Michael Olise

.

It appears as if Parish and Dougie Freedman have made a move for a potential Olise replacement, with an offer submitted.

According to reports from Portugal, relayed by Sport Witness, Crystal Palace have made an offer to sign Marcus Edwards from Sporting CP. It is claimed that the opening bid is worth €15m (£12.6m), however, that isn’t expected to be enough to strike a deal, with Sporting CP wanting up to €30m.

Edwards also has admirers in Saudi Arabia in Al Nassr, however, the former Tottenham winger isn’t keen on a move, something which could help Palace in their pursuit.

The 25-year-old, who has also been linked with a return to Spurs in recent months, has impressed at Sporting CP in recent seasons, scoring 21 goals and providing 26 assists in 110 appearances.

Primarily a right-winger, Edwards can also play in a variety of attacking positions so may provide plenty of versatility to Glasner’s side in the final third.

Previously dubbed a “wonderful player” who is a “joy to watch” by Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig, is currently valued at €20m by Transfermarkt, so it may not come as a surprise that Palace’s opening offer looks likely to be rejected. However, a move could still be one to watch, especially after the club sold Olise for a reported £60m.
