# Tottenham: Sky journalist shares Edwards sell-on clause update

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) could be in for a ‘sizeable’ financial windfall following news of a sell-on clause in Sporting winger Marcus Edwards’ contract.**

### The Lowdown: Edwards shines…

The former Spurs starlet absolutely dazzled against his ex-side in the Champions League on Tuesday, perhaps most notably going on a [mazy solo run](https://twitter.com/MirrorDarren/status/1570044680816967682) and nearly haunting the north Londoners with what would have been a sensational goal.

Edwards has been at the centre of real praise following his performance against Antonio Conte’s side with [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/09/14/tottenham-could-land-26m-sell-on-fee-marcus-edwards-leaves-sporting/) sharing news of a seismic Spurs sell-on clause in the player’s contract.

Indeed, the reliable outlet and journalist Matt Law claim Tottenham could land £26 million if Sporting decide to sell the 23-year-old.

This is because Edwards’ contract contains a whopping 50 per cent sell-on clause, and if any club decide to trigger the player’s £52m exit clause, Spurs would be on to bank half of that.

### The Latest: Bridge shares sell-on update…

Taking to social media, when asked if Edwards’ deal really does contain a 50% sell-on, Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge shared what he knows.

He says that while the ‘50%’ aspect needs to be confirmed by his sources, there is indeed a sell-on and it’s a ‘sizeable’ one.

Bridge [explained:](https://twitter.com/MichaelBridge_/status/1570050783919349763)

“*Need to confirm if it’s 50% but it’s certainly sizeable.”*

### The Verdict: Good business…

While some Lilywhites supporters will be gutted over losing Edwards, who is certainly showing to be a remarkable talent, there is at least some comfort in the fact Tottenham have protected themselves financially with the clause.

£26m through one contract line is certainly a credible bit of business but much will depend on whether any side elects to trigger the winger’s £52m exit clause.

That being said, if Edwards continues in this fine form, we doubt there will be a shortage of suitors.
