The Daily Star isn't the only paper to note his growing dissatisfaction at White Hart Lane, with the latest ignominy -- demotion to the U21 team -- apparently the final straw.
Though the recent problem (a row with a fitness coach at the beginning of November) was sparked by Townsend, he's had a tough year as Pochettino's hungry, aggressive side have become a Premier League force without him in the ranks. The wide midfielder has made just three substitute appearances in the league in 2015-16.
The list of possible destinations is plentiful, but far from promising: Swansea, Aston Villa, West Brom, Leicester and Newcastle are reportedly kicking the tires. It's also not the first time Townsend has reportedly sought a transfer, so is it serious or just a ploy?
