Town are considering a loan move for 18-year-old Tottenham left winger Andros Townsend. The Leytonstone-born wideman is yet to make a first team appearance for Spurs but is tipped for a big future.

The Blues sent a representative to watch the quick winger in action in a friendly against Chelsea at Tottenham’s training ground on Wednesday. The game had been arranged to show off the clubs’ young talent to sides interested in taking their players on loan.

Townsend came through the Spurs academy and went on loan to Yeovil Town at the end of the 2008/09 season, scoring one goal in 10 starts.

The 6ft tall midfielder spent the first half of this season at Leyton Orient, where former Blue Geraint Williams was then boss, netting two goals in 20 starts and six appearances.

In January the England U16 and U19 international moved on to the MK Dons, where he made eight starts and one sub appearance, scoring twice.

A left winger is very much on manager Roy Keane’s summer wish-list with Peterborough’s George Boyd his main target. However, with other clubs also interested in the Scotland B international and cash-strapped Peterborough trying to achieve a fee of £2 million for the former Stevenage man, the Blues may instead recruit Townsend on a season-long loan.

stinkiusminkius added 12:05 - May 17 I just read the EADT and Greenun article about this and our problem left sided position, and it was quite funny and very meaningful that Lee Martins name wasnt even mentioned.

comeonthegoodtimes added 15:50 - May 19 bennyblue- not going to lower myself by calling you names as you obviously just come on here to try and wined us all up and probably have kleenex at the ready to get off on the next little comment made back at you, However, Sunderland are in the Premier league and i for one would be quite happy to take another 3 or 4 players on loan next season from there club. oh and Lee Martin is one of the players signed at the begining of the season from Man Utd, Man Utd are a team that have won the title 18 times, they are based at Old Trafford, Old Trafford is a football stadium in Manchester, incase you weren't sure about that as well,
