Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend is being offered to Newcastle United.

The Evening Chronicle says Palace are contemplating selling Townsend this summer - with Newcastle United having already enquired about their former winger's availability.

The Eagles had initially rebuffed Newcastle's advances and quoted the Magpies a £20million fee for the winger, but it is understood that Palace are now open to selling Townsend.

Palace manager Roy Hodgson is believed to have identified West Ham United winger Michail Antonio as a replacement for Townsend, who is also attracting interest from Leicester City.

Rafa Benitez and Townsend retain a positive relationship, with the England international having departed St James' Park on good terms during the summer of 2016.
