Despite being born in England, Edwards is eligible to represent Cyprus through his mother. This possibility is currently under consideration, especially as he is coincidentally on holiday in the country with his family. Edwards has already received an invitation and is weighing his options, intending to provide an answer by the end of the summer.

Marcus Edwards, who made 120 appearances for Sporting, played for Burnley for the past two seasons, where he registered three goals and five assists in 42 official matches. The winger might even be on the move again, as he has an offer to join the Turkish league. Specifically, Trabzonspor has reportedly submitted a €7 million bid to acquire the attacker, according to English press.
