Newcastle United have agreed to sign out-of-favour Tottenham Hotspur winger Andros Townsend for £12 million ($17 million), British media reported on Tuesday.

Townsend, 24, a regular in the England squad last season, has made just seven appearances for Spurs in all competitions this campaign and has not started a Premier League game so far.

His future at the club was thrown into doubt in November when he was suspended for two weeks after clashing with fitness coach Nathan Gardiner.

The winger has been in exile with Tottenham’s under-21s team ever since and has now emerged as a target for Steve McClaren a few weeks ago as the Newcastle manager bids to strengthen his squad to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
