West Bromwich Albion are interested in signing Andros Townsend from Premier League rivals Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

It has been reported that West Brom – who are playing in the Premier League this season after winning promotion from the Championship at the end of the 2019-20 campaign – are willing to pay £6 million as transfer fee for the former Tottenham Hotspur winger.

The report has claimed that Palace are reluctant to sell Townsend unless they get a replacement, and that the Baggies will have to push hard to secure the services of the former Newcastle United man.

Stats

According to WhoScored, Townsend has scored one goal and provided two assists in four Premier League appearances for Palace so far this season.

During the 2019-20 campaign, the winger made 14 starts and 10 substitute appearances in the league for the Eagles, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.

Back in 2018-19, the 29-year-old winger made 34 starts and four substitute appearances in the league for the London club, scoring six goals and providing four assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
