Newcastle United's Andros Townsend has £8m relegation clause?

Andros Townsend reportedly has an £8m release clause in the Newcastle United contract that he signed in January.

Andros Townsend can reportedly leave Newcastle United for £8m in the summer if the club drops into the Championship.

The winger arrived on Tyneside from Tottenham Hotspur in January for £12m.

However, should the Magpies fall into England's second tier, Townsend can be signed for £4m less, according to The People.

The report adds, though, that the 10-capped England international has no intention of forcing through an exit, regardless of what division Newcastle are in.

With six matches left to play, 19th-placed Newcastle are six points from safety.
