West Ham want Newcastle duo Townsend, Wijnaldum

West Ham United are planning a double swoop for Andros Townsend and Georginio Wijnaldum, according to reports from Squawka.

Following Newcastle's relegation to the Championship, it is widely expected that the Magpies will lose a number of their key players over the summer.

Now according to reports emerging, it has been claimed that the Hammers are eyeing a double raid on Newcastle by lining up a move for winger Townsend and attacking midfielder Wijnaldum.

24-year-old England international Townsend joined the Toon from Tottenham for £12million in January and scored four goals in 13 outings while Dutch ace Wijnaldum arrived on the north east from PSV Eindhoven last summer and netted 11 league goals in his debut campaign.
