Tottenham planning to swap Andros Townsend for Loic Remy

Tottenham have shown an increasing interest in Queens Park Rangers striker Loïc Rémy, with Harry Redknapp reportedly interested in bringing Andros Townsend and Harry Kane to Loftus Road in exchange.

Rémy has already had one move away from the West London side fall through, with last season's play-off winners agreeing an £8.5million move for the French striker to join Liverpool, only for Brendan Rodgers to pull the plug on the signing due to concerns over Rémy's health. The striker has previously failed medicals because of a heart problem.

Andros Townsend has previously had a loan spell at the R's, after joining during the 2012-13 season, where he played alongside Rémy. Townsend scored twice in his 12 appearances at the club, and Harry Redknapp remains an admirer of the player he sent out on loan eight times during his four years managing Spurs.

Along with Arsenal and Liverpool, Spurs have been keen admirers of Rémy since his spell at Marseille. QPR beat a host of clubs to sign the highly sought after player, who spent last season on loan at Newcastle.

The news comes after new Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino had reportedly put 11 players up for sale, one of which was Townsend. Roberto Soldado is another name that is not wanted by Pochettino, with the former Southampton manager seeing Rémy as the ideal replacement.
