Tottenham Hotspur are ready to sell Andros Townsend in January with Swansea, Aston Villa, Leicester and Crystal Palace all interested in acquiring the winger (Express).

Townsend now finds himself out of Spurs’ future plans altogether following a public bust-up with coach Nathan Gardiner in the week. Reports claim that Mauricio Pochettino will now lower his asking price for the England international from £13 million to £8 million.

Many Swansea fans have been calling out for a wide-man recently, with Nathan Dyer now appearing to be a bigger loss than first imagined. The pacey Townsend could be a perfect fit at the Liberty Stadium with his versatility and his goal threat too.

However, if Garry Monk went to sign the 24-year-old in January, he’d face tough competition from Premier League rivals Aston Villa, Leicester and Crystal Palace for his signature. Newcastle and West Brom have also been reported with an interest in Townsend in recent weeks.

Townsend is open for a move away from White Hart Lane in an attempt to make Roy Hodgson’s England squad for Euro 2016.
