QPR boss Redknapp: Tottenham's Townsend can be as good as Robben

QPR boss Harry Redknapp has likened Andros Townsend to Bayern Munich star Arjen Robben.

The Tottenham winger impressed on-loan at QPR last season.

"If you look at Arjen Robben, Andros Townsend is the closest thing we have produced to him," said Redknapp.

"I'm not saying he is Robben yet, he is not, but he is very similar. He plays on the right, dribbles well, runs at people, gets shots at goal. I think he could be fantastic on that big pitch at Wembley, a real threat."
