The England winger Townsend has been linked with a return to Queens Park Rangers. The 23-year-old  enjoyed a fruitful spell at Loftus Road in 2013. It has been reported that Spurs would offer Townsend in exchange for QPR striker Loic Remy.

While the club would consider bids for 11 of their players, they hope to sell around five of them.

    The PSV winger impressed for the Netherlands as an impact sub during the World Cup, scoring twice and adding an assist for Louis van Gaal's team. He was excellent in Eredivisie last season, scoring 12 goals as PSV finished second. Depay is quick, skilful and strong and plays on the left, a problem position since the departure of Gareth Bale.
