West Brom have contacted Tottenham about signing Andros Townsend, according to Sky sources.

The Baggies are interested in the England international, who was dropped from the first-team squad after a row with fitness coach Nathan Gardiner in November.

It is understood Spurs are only interested in selling the midfielder on a permanent deal, with Watford also believed to be monitoring the 24-year-old.

Due to financial restrictions, West Brom would have to sell players before they can bring in new signings, according to Sky sources.

Townsend was left on the bench when Pochettino fielded several fringe players against Monaco in the Europa League and the Tottenham head coach hinted at a move away from White Hart Lane for the winger.
