Andros Townsend wants to stay at Tottenham, despite interest from Premier League rivals.
Sky sources understand that Aston Villa, West Ham and West Brom are looking to sign the England winger.
But his father Troy says that Townsend, who has been a peripheral figure under boss Mauricio Pochettino, is now fully fit and intends to prove himself at White Hart Lane.
He wants to prove himself in Mauricio Pochettino's team and hopefully that's what he'll be given the chance to do
He told Sky Sports News HQ, he said: "Andros has been injured. He picked up an injury to his shoulder in an early pre-season game and only returned to training on Tuesday this week.
"Andros’ mind is on Tottenham. He’s grown up at the club and that’s where he wants to be.
"You can’t stop rumour, there's been rumour every year around the deadline.
