Townsend hoping to impress Spurs

Andros Townsend has admitted that he is keen to catch the eye of Tottenham Hotspur coach Andre Villas-Boas during his loan stint with Queens Park Rangers.

Having struggled to force his way into Villas-Boas's plans on a regular basis, the England youth international joined the R's until the end of the season from London rivals Spurs in January.

Following his first Premier League goal during Saturday's 3-1 win over Sunderland at Loftus Road, the 21-year-old has expressed his determination to prove his worth to his parent club.

"Obviously I have belief in my own ability but this is my chance now to show people at Spurs, here and around the Premier League that I am good enough," he told the Fulham Chronicle. "Hopefully I can take the opportunities when they come and show people what I can do.

"I've spoken to Tim Sherwood a few times and Les Ferdinand has been down to a few games. They're keeping tabs on me and hopefully they are pleased with what they see."

The attacking midfielder joined Spurs as a trainee in 2000.
