Tottenham Hotspur have now received confirmation that a few million will get added to their coffers this summer after the latest rounds of results in the Championship.
Leeds United and Burnley will both officially be back in the Premier League season, with the two clubs sealing automatic promotion with wins over Stoke City and Sheffield United respectively on Monday night.
This is significant to Spurs as former Tottenham Hotspur academy graduate, Marcus Edwards is currently on loan at the Clarets, who have an obligation to buy the winger for €10m (£8.5m) if their promotion is secured.
Tottenham will be owed 35 per cent of the fee for Edwards due to the sell-on clause they have on the winger.
Tottenham’s Marcus Edwards boost now confirmed
With Burnley now having sealed progression to the top flight, they will have to pay £8.5m to Sporting Lisbon for Edwards.
They might not be too pleased with the outcome, as the winger has only scored one and assisted one in his 13 Championship outings for Scott Parker’s men so far.
However, the outcome is an excellent one for Tottenham Hotspur, who will now be owed €3.5m (£3m) out of the total fee that Sporting receive for Edwards due to the North London club’s sell-on clause.
Spurs fans will also get to see Edwards ply his trade for the first time in the Premier League next season, with the winger failing to make a single league appearance for the Lilywhites during his time at the club.
Why Leeds’ promotion may also affect Tottenham’s summer plans
Leeds’ promotion might also have a bearing on Tottenham’s summer plans and may also boost the Lilywhites’ coffers.
That is because it was reported previously that Leeds were expected to sign Solomon permanently this summer once their passage to the top-flight was assured.
According to various sources, Tottenham value Solomon at £20m, and one would not be surprised if Leeds paid that amount, given that the Israel international has been one of their standout attackers this season, with 20 goal contributions in 37 league outings.
