Newcastle United are reportedly mulling over a £10m bid for England international Andros Townsend.
The Premier League outfit, who remain in the bottom three despite defeating in-form Liverpool 2-0 on Sunday, are keen to bring the out-of-favour Tottenham forward to St James’ Park during the forthcoming January transfer window.
The 24-year-old, who has nine international caps for the Three Lions, has played just 64 minutes of football in the English top-flight so far for Spurs this season.
In respect of Townsend dropping down the pecking order at White Hart Lane under boss Mauricio Pochettino this term; the winger has also lost his place in Roy Hodgson’s England squad, although he is desperate to seek a move elsewhere during the New Year period in an attempt to book his place in the Three Lions’ set-up that flies out to France next summer for Euro 2016.
