The 25-year-old came through the system at West Ham’s London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, but he only made one professional appearance before making the permanent switch to Sporting, where he has grown into a great player.

Since January 2022, Edwards has scored 21 goals and supplied 22 assists in 91 appearances for the Portuguese giants across all competitions, including six goals and five assists in 25 games this season.

According to The Sun, West Ham have identified Edwards as a potential target this month, with manager David Moyes looking to bolster his attack following an injury crisis.

Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen are both in the treatment room with knee and ankle injuries, respectively, while Lucas Paqueta is expected to miss six to eight weeks with a calf injury; Mohammed Kudus is also unavailable because he is playing Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations.

West Ham are also said to be interested in Ajax’s Steven Bergwijn, who previously played for Tottenham, and Sunderland’s Jack Clarke.

In Germany, Bayern Munich is allegedly adding Kevin Danso of Lens to their centre-back shortlist this month.

The Bundesliga powers attempted to derail Tottenham’s deal to recruit Genoa defender Radu Dragusin earlier this week, but the Romanian has decided to join the Premier League.

Eric Dier is on his way to the Allianz Arena, but according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Danso is also on Bayern’s list of objectives.

According to Romano, the 25-year-old was a target for Bayern last summer before signing a contract extension with Lens until June 2027.

Danso, a 16-cap Austria international, began his career in Germany with Augsburg before joining Lens in 2021, and he has now made a total

The 6ft 3in centre-back has made 22 starts for Lens this season, including six in the Champions League group stage.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa playmaker Philippe Coutinho is reportedly garnering interest from MLS club Inter Miami.

Coutinho was deemed surplus to needs at Villa Park and is currently on loan with Qatari club Al-Duail, where he has four goals and one assist in nine matches.

The 31-year-old still has more than two years on his deal with Villa, but he appears to have played his final game for the club because he does not fit into boss Unai Emery’s plans.

According to AS, via The Sun, Coutinho might be on his way to another loan move this month, with David Beckham’s Inter Miami club interested in the former Liverpool and Barcelona playmaker.

The move to Florida could entice the Brazilian to join former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez, the latter of whom signed with the MLS club last month.

The Los Angeles Galaxy are also said to be interested in Coutinho, who is thought to earn roughly £125,000 per week on his Aston Villa contract.
