Crystal Palace are reportedly set to hand England international forward Andros Townsend an instant return to the Premier League this summer, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The English top-flight outfit, who finished 15th in the league standings this term before losing to Manchester United in the 2016 FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium last month, are ready to try and lure the Newcastle United winger to Selhurst Park.

The 24-year-old, who has 11 international caps for the Three Lions but has not been included in England’s 23-man squad for EURO 2016 later this month, scored four goals and provided two assists in 13 appearances in all competitions for the relegated Magpies last season.

Townsend, who only arrived at St James’ Park from Tottenham back in January following his £12m switch, is also said to be attracting interest from Southampton and West Ham United.

However the report suggests the Eagles are in pole position to secure his signature, with Palace boss Alan Pardew ready to trigger the winger’s £10.5m release clause.

    This is getting boring now the express have said this now supposedly the daily telegraph really laughable, it’s funny how even the mirror changed there tune saying he held discussions with Benitez saying he wants to stay. Why would he go to prancing dancing Pardews palace it would be a massive mistake. People reporting this and writing rubbish are worse than a broken record it’s worse than click bait. Keep on hearing the tiresome rumour over and over again yet no bid and doubt he’ll be going anywhere when Benitez is manager.
