Sporting CP star Marcus Edwards has spoken about talk of playing for England.

The 23-year-old has been outstanding for the Portuguese club, showcasing his talent in a remarkable 2-0 home win against Tottenham in the Champions League group stages.

Edwards was allowed to leave Spurs in 2019, but may have given his ex-club cause for regret after a terrific display on Tuesday night.

Asked about his feelings post-game, Edwards said: "I could not be happier.

"We deserved that. We showed how we can play. I wouldn't say it was extra special but it was a strange feeling playing against Spurs. I was there for so long but it was good to know the people, the coaching staff and some players.

"It doesn't change. I prepare the same and focus like every other game."

On an England call-up, he added: "I wouldn't say it has crossed my mind. I just focus on what I am doing here so I don't think about that - but of course (it would be nice)."
