Tottenham provide extra incentive for West Brom in £20m transfer package

TOTTENHAM will throw Andros Townsend into their offer to sign Saido Berahino from West Brom, according to reports.

Spurs trailed Berahino, 22, over the summer but failed to land the former England U21 striker.

Berahino even threatened to go on strike in a desperate bid to leave the Hawthorns.

 

But manager Tony Pulis stood firm on his reluctance to sell the ace.

However, it appears the Baggies' resolve may be weakening, with Spurs reportedly set to offer £20million for Berahino.

That is according to the Daily Star Sunday, who claim Townsend will be used as a bargaining chip to appease Albion officials.

 

Stoke are also said to be interested in the striker but Spurs remain favourites to land him.

Berahino has made just 16 appearances this season and scored his fourth goal of the campaign yesterday as West Brom drew 2-2 with Bristol City in the FA Cup.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino reportedly wants him to link up with former England U21 team-mate Harry Kane at White Hart Lane, with Townsend not part of the manager's plans.
