Marcus Edwards shocks everyone! Ex-Sporting to switch... nations | OneFootball

Marcus Edwards, a former Sporting player who moved to Burnley in 2024/2025, and who has a long history with England’s youth teams (49 caps), could change national teams. A decision rooted in his family background.

The national team in question is Cyprus. This option arises because the English winger’s mother is Cypriot. Marcus Edwards has already received the invitation, a possibility he is considering and intends to respond to by the end of this summer.

The winger could also be on the move at club level, as he has an offer in hand to head to the Turkish league, namely Trabzonspor, which, according to the English press, has already submitted a €7 million bid to sign the attacker.

It is worth remembering that the British player was sold to Burnley in the 2024/2025 winter transfer window, for nearly €10 million, although Sporting received only €6.5 million because Tottenham (his youth club) held 35% of his economic rights.

In the 2025/2026 season, wearing the Burnley shirt, Marcus Edwards - valued at €6 million - made 26 appearances: 23 in the Premier League, two in the English League Cup and one in the FA Cup.
