Andros Townsend set for Newcastle move as Florian Thauvin prepares for exit

Newcastle hope to tie up their £12million swoop for Tottenham winger Andros Townsend within the next 24 hours as summer signing Florian Thauvin prepares to head for the exit door.

The 24-year-old England international midfielder is due to undergo a medical on Tyneside on Wednesday a day after the Magpies and Spurs finally reached an agreement on a fee to bring an end to his White Hart Lane misery within touching distance.
