Former Derby County and Queens Park Rangers defender Warren Barton has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to speculation surrounding the future of Andros Townsend.
According to The Mirror, Newcastle United are interested in signing Townsend from Crystal Palace in the January transfer window.
Townsend joined Palace from Newcastle in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by The Mirror to be worth £13 million.
