Newcastle United reportedly want Andros Townsend of Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace value Andros Townsend at £17 million, according to Sky Sports, and Newcastle United should not hesitate to make a move for the former Tottenham Hotspur winger.
According to Sky Sports, Newcastle are interested in signing Townsend from Premier League rivals Palace in the summer transfer window.
With the Eagles reportedly willing to do business with the Magpies for the winger at £17m, Rafael Benitez’s side should not hesitate to complete a deal.
Townsend is a proven Premier League winger, and the former Tottenham winger would be a smart signing for Newcastle, especially as he is 26 years of age and would have a resale value.
True, the England international left the Magpies for Palace after just half a season following his move from Tottenham, but there is no doubt that he is a quality winger who would make the current Newcastle team stronger.
Newcastle need to score more goals than they did last season in order to have a stable and successful Premier League campaign, and having a creative and pacy winger like Townsend – who earns £55,000 per week as salary, Sccording to spotrac.com – will mean more chances created for the striker(s).
