Spurs open to £8m auction as Leicester, Villa and Swansea want West Brom and Palace target



Andros Townsend has played just seven games for Tottenham this season



FIVE Premier League clubs want to sign Andros Townsend in January, according to reports.

 

Townsend, 24, is set to leave Tottenham after a public bust-up with fitness coach Nathan Gardiner at White Hart Lane.

The player was subsequently dropped for Spurs' 2-1 Europa League win over Anderlecht on Thursday night and is unlikely to feature against Arsenal today.

 

And the Sunday People report that Spurs are willing to listen to offers for the winger.

It is claimed Leicester, Swansea and Aston Villa are all interested in signing the England international.

Spurs will drop their £13million summer valuation of Townsend to £8m in effort to offload the player.

 

He is said to be keen on getting first-team football in order to force his way into Roy Hodgson's England squad for Euro 2016.

Earlier this week is emerged Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew was keen to bring Townsend to Selhurst Park, while Tony Pulis is a known admirer at West Brom.
