Don't sell me cries Townsend

Cape Town - England international winger Andros Townsend wants to stay at White Hart Lane for the foreseeable future.

“I’m a Spurs boy." Townsend told the British media, according to the London Evening Standard.

Townsend has been in and out of the first team at Spurs this season and is yet to convince Mauricio Pochettino that he deserves a starting role.

"I’ve been at the club since the age of eight so as long as I’m in the team, as I have been over the last few weeks, I’m not looking to go anywhere."

“The club want me here and I want to be here, so that’s all I can say at the minute,” Townsend told Standard Sport.

Townsend broke through into the Spurs starting lineup last season but his progress was hampered by injury.

With reports suggested that he could be offered to Southampton in a Spurs' bid for Morgan Schneiderlin, an injury to Erik Lamela may save his Tottenham career.

"Earlier in the season I was limited only to cup games, Capital One and Europa League but now hopefully I’ve broken back into that Premier League squad, hopefully I can put a run of games together and all these rumours that come about every transfer window can go away.” added Townsend.
