Southampton encouraged in bid for frozen out Spurs winger Townsend

Southampton have been encouraged in their pursuit of Tottenham winger Andros Townsend.

Saints had a bid in excess of £10 million rejected by Spurs for the England international last weekend. But that hasn't ended their pursuit.

Southampton intend to try again in the coming days and have been encouraged seeing Townsend left out of Tottenham's squad for victory over QPR yesterday.

Saints boss Ronald Koeman refused to rule out signing Townsend when asked about their latest offer last week.
