Andros Townsend knows he has the talent but now needs to show consistency and is determined to prove it at Crystal Palace.

The 25-year-old joined Palace from Newcastle this summer in a £13million.

"I know now I was not just a flash in the pan in 2013 and that I am good enough to play in the Premier League.

"Hopefully, I can show it again this season. I was not playing well enough at Spurs. Maybe it was just a change of scenery I needed.

"I went to Newcastle and started flourishing again. Unfortunately it was not enough for us to stay up last season but I got my appetite back and was playing at a level I know I am capable of.

"How well I finished last season has given me extra motivation to start this season the same way. It is no secret how difficult a spell I was having at Spurs the last two or so years.

"I was not really getting the best out of myself. To go to Newcastle and rediscover that form was great for me.

"I cannot wait for the season to begin."
