Sporting Lisbon head coach Ruben Amorim has tipped former Tottenham playmaker Marcus Edwards for an England call-up.
The Enfield-born 23-year-old left Spurs two years ago without making a Premier League appearance, despite being jokingly likened to Lionel Messi by former White Hart Lane boss Mauricio Pochettino. But he is fulfilling his potential in Portuguese football with a successful spell at Guimaraes before joining Sporting in January this year.
Amorim said: “Marcus is a very talented player. He’s one of the best players for playing between the lines. He took a little while to adapt to the Portuguese lifestyle but he has so much talent. He can get much better.
