Andros Townsend has insisted that he has no intention of leaving Crystal Palace ahead of the new season.

Townsend has been linked with a return to Newcastle United this summer, with the Magpies said to be keen on re-signing the player that they sold at the end of the 2015-16 campaign.

However, the 13-time England international has said that he is "happy" at Selhurst Park, and wants to continue with the Eagles "for many years".

"I have got three years left on my contract. The club want me here, the fans want me here, I want to be here, so for me there is nothing to it," Townsend told Sky Sports News.

"There is always gossip surrounding myself every summer but I don't really pay much attention to it. I'm happy here and hopefully I can be here for many years."

The 27-year-old scored two Premier League goals for Palace during the 2017-18 campaign.
