Six Premier League clubs chasing Tottenham winger Andros Townsend - Wednesday’s top transfer stories

Wanted man: Townsend is not short of Premier League suitors, according to reports

Christmas is fast approaching and while that signifies the imminent arrival of presents and festivities it also means that the January transfer window will soon be upon us.

Premier League clubs will have one month to get their shopping done whether they want to get rid of dead wood or bolster their options.

One man who could be set to be cut adrift is Tottenham midfielder Andros Townsend.

The England international was previously a regular under Mauricio Pochettino but has slipped down the pecking order this season.

The 24-year-old scuffled with Spurs' fitness coach earlier in the campaign and has been banished to the under-21 squad.

He may be out in the cold at White Hart Lane but no fewer than six clubs are keen to secure the winger's services.

Initial reports suggested that Swansea City, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City were keen on Townsend but now he's attracted interest from Sunderland too.

But do Big Sam's strugglers represent an ideal destination for the Spurs man? Or would he be a better fit at one of his other potential suitors?
