He has been recently reported that Edwards is open to returning to his boyhood club and Spurs may therefore manage to secure his signature if they formalize their interest.
After finishing fifth under Ange Postecoglou last season, Tottenham are preparing to spend big this summer to continue their rebuild.
The Lilywhites are reportedly prioritizing signing a striker, midfielder and centre-back, but it appears buying a new right winger is also on their wish list.
