‘Fantastic’ – Townsend says £200k-per-week Everton player has worked really hard in training
Andros Townsend has suggested that Everton attacking midfielder James Rodriguez has been working really hard in training. Rodriguez, who joined last summer from Real Madrid, is facing an uncertain future at Goodison Park. He is yet to feature under Rafael Benitez and was linked with a move away from the club during the summer. In his first season at the Merseyside club, Rodriguez only showed flashes of brilliance but failed to maintain consistency. Townsend, however, feels that Rodriguez is fully focussed and he is confident that Benitez will integrate him when he feels the moment is right. He has hailed him as a fantastic player, and suggested that he has worked really hard in training during the international break. “He’s a fantastic player,” said Townsend to the Daily Mail. “Every...
‘The real deal’ – Townsend says Everton player with ‘massive potential’ has really impressed him
Everton summer signing Andros Townsend has showered heaps of praise on club teammate Ben Godfrey. Townsend, who joined the club on a free transfer this summer after being released by Crystal Palace, has suggested that Godfrey is one player who can go to the very top. The former Tottenham winger has impressed heavily so far, with Everton making an unbeaten start to the season. He has suggested that Godfrey is the “real deal” and that he has impressed him heavily in training. When asked which teammate has impressed him more, Townsend told the Daily Mail: “The one player who does stick out is Ben Godfrey. “Obviously I played against him last season and he’s got massive potential, but seeing him on a day-to-day basis, he really is the real deal. “Again, with a manager like Rafa who will work h...
‘He’s only concerned’ – Everton summer signing reveals what Benitez has told him
Andros Townsend has revealed that Everton boss Rafael Benitez wants him to focus mainly on his output in the final third. Eyebrows were raised when Benitez signed the 30-year-old winger on a free transfer after he was released by Crystal Palace this summer. Everton operated on a tight budget, with the club spending very little in the market. However, the likes of Townsend and Demarai Gray have impressed heavily for the Toffees. The former Tottenham Hotspur winger was brilliant against Southampton where he provided an assist and he also impressed during Everton’s 2-1 win over Huddersfield in the EFL Cup. Townsend has revealed that Benitez wants him to focus more on the attacking side of his game, rather than thinking about making defensive contributions. He told in an exclusive interv...

Leicester edge up to second despite draw vs Crystal Palace
A much-changed Leicester moved up to second in the Premier League thanks to Harvey Barnes’ late equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace on Monday. Wilfried Zaha’s stunning near post volley put the Eagles in front against the run of play after Kelechi Iheanacho had a first-half penalty saved for Leicester. With little over 48 hours rest between the Foxes’ 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Saturday and the trip to Selhurst Park, Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers made seven changes with Jamie Vardy and Youri Tielemans among those left on the bench. Both were introduced midway through the second-half and Leicester’s pressure was rewarded with an equaliser when Barnes fired in a low shot from the edge of the box for his eighth goal of the season. Despite the upheaval of missing many of their st...
Andros Townsend comments on Crystal Palace teammate Wilfried Zaha
Andros Townsend said on talkSPORT (10am, October 27, 2020) that Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha will get his move at the end of the season if he plays well. The former Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United winger spoke highly of his Palace teammate. Townsend believes that if the Ivory Coast international scores 15 to 20 goals for Palace this season, then he will get a move to a bigger club. The Englishman said about Zaha on talkSPORT (10am, October 27, 2020): “I think Wilf and the manager have made no secret that Wilf wanted to move this window. It’s not like he doesn’t like Crystal Palace or he has fallen out of love. He just believes that he was destined for bigger things, which I agree with. “But when the transfer doesn’t happen, for whatever reason, he now obviously still loves Cr...
Super Eagles prospect shines in Crystal Palace win
Ebere Eze made his debut for Crystal Palace during a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Charlton in preseason friendly. The former Queens Park Rangers (QPR) player who made a big-money move to Selhurst this summer played for 45 minutes in the encounter and was brilliant throughout his stay at the club. Eze presence in midfield showed why the club doled out 20 million pounds for his services. The player who is eligible to play for England and Nigeria fired a shot wide from 20 yards after making space for himself. He set up Andros Townsend who tried an overhead-kick at goal but it was blocked before Jordan Ayew hit the post as the first half ended goalless. Eze made way for Jeffrey Schlupp at the start of the second half. However, Ghanaian Jordan Ayew opened scoring from a pass by former Manches...
Townsend admits he never thought reported Newcastle target would become ‘incredible’
Andros Townsend has admitted to Sky Sports that he did not expect his former Tottenham Hotspur teammate and reported Newcastle United target Gareth Bale to become as good a player as he is now. Townsend, who left Newcastle for Crystal Palace in the summer of 2016 after joining the Magpies in January 2016, played with winger Bale at Tottenham. The 28-year-old England international winger has raved about the Wales international winger, and he has admitted that he did not envisage the Real Madrid star becoming as good as he is now. According to Marca, Newcastle are interested in signing Bale from Spanish and European giants Madrid in the summer transfer window. Townsend told Sky Sports when asked if he could always see Bale’s ability at Tottenham: “You ask anyone now, they’ll say they always ...
