Aston Villa ahead of Newcastle, Sunderland for Spurs winger Townsend

The Daily Star Sunday says his former boss Tim Sherwood - now in charge at Aston Villa - was thought to be at the head of the queue to sign the jet-heeled star.

But Newcastle, Sunderland and West Ham have now joined the race to land Townsend.
