Newcastle Have Announced the Signing of Andros Townsend from Tottenham

Andros Townsend

The 24-year-old England winger has signed a five-and-a-half-year deal for a fee Sky sources understand to be £12m.

The two Premier League clubs agreed the fee on Tuesday after weeks of negotiations that included two rejected offers - one of a loan, the other for £10.5m.

Townsend, who has been keen to leave Spurs after failing to gain a first-team appearance since October, picked up his possessions from their Hotspur Way training base on Tuesday and drove immediately to Tyneside.

And, after completing his medical and wrapping up personal terms on Wednesday, he said: "I'm delighted to be here.

"Newcastle United is a fantastic club with great fans, a great stadium and great tradition. As soon as I heard Newcastle were interested in me, there was only one place I wanted to go so I can't wait to get started."

Magpies boss Steve McClaren said: "Bringing Andros to the club is a great signing.

"He is a very good talent who is a current England international and should be one for years to come, too.
