One player a section of Newcastle fans would love to see at St James' Park next season is Spurs winger Andros Townsend.

Capable of using both feet and not afraid to shoot on sight, Townsend is exactly the type of player that will get fans off their seats.

The form of Nacer Chadli and Erik Lamela, armed with Pochettino’s decision to play Christian Erikson on the wing at times last season, has left Townsend struggling for regular playing time at Spurs and the England international could be considering his options this summer.

At 24, Townsend will be looking for guaranteed first-team football, especially with the Euros at end of season.

Tottenham are reportedly holding out for £15 million for Townsend, but it’s likely they would accept if an offer doubling his £5.6 million value was received.
