Agen  TangKasneT  ~    Mauricio Pochettino has admitted for the first time that Andros Townsend could have a future away from Spurs.

The England winger last featured in the north Londoners’ Europa League defeat at Anderlecht on October 22.

He was banished to the Under-21’s after a bust-up with fitness coach Nathan Gardiner following the club’s Premier League win over Aston Villa on November 2.

Townsend has not featured in any of Tottenham’s subsequent five games and is a target for several clubs in January, including Swansea, Newcastle and Sunderland.

Pochettino said: “He’s still young and he has a big future in football, here or at another club. Always you need to learn in football.”

Townsend featured for the club’s Under-21 side on Monday but Pochettino insisted the move was the player’s decision and not his.

He added: “There is not an issue with Andros. He was on the bench in some games and was out of the squad against Chelsea and he asked to play for the Under-21s against Middlesbrough. He asked to play.

Bandar Judi online TangKasneT  ~   “It’s a very good thing because the player was out and didn’t play for many weeks and it was a good opportunity. For me it’s a very good attitude to want to play for the Under-21s and keep working hard and keep his physical levels and condition up.”

Pochettino faces West Brom this weekend bidding to maintain the club's impressive form this season.

His men are unbeaten since losing to Manchester United on the opening weekend and now sit fifth, four points off leaders Manchester City.

He added: “If the people believe we are contenders I am happy because we have shown enough quality for that.

“Our ambition is always to stay as high as possible in the table, but we’re realistic. We’re very young, we have the youngest team in the Premier League but we are very ambitious and our motivation is to win every game.

“We need to keep working hard and try to win every game. It’s not always possible to win but it’s better than to lose.

“But we are very happy in the way we compete. We show we are more solid than last season and it’s step by step. This is the most important thing. In the end we’ll see what happens and which position we are.”
