Tottenham will offer both Andros Townsend and Aaron Lennon to West Brom in a bid to sign Saido Berahino.

Spurs are keen to snap up England Under-21 striker Berahino this summer and reckon a players-plus-cash exchange could give them the upper hand.

It would be a bold move by the north Londoners but may also give them the edge over Newcastle, who they know are also chasing £20million-rated ­Berahino.

Lennon - who was loaned out to Everton for the second half of last season - and Townsend are both England internationals but are not major parts of Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino’s plans for next season.

The news will be a blow to Newcastle, who have been hoping to land the Burundi-born 21-year-old from West Brom in a straight-cash deal.

The Geordies have a large sum of cash ready to invest in their squad and are willing to stump up the entire transfer fee in one hit – rather than in instalments – in the hope that could tempt the Baggies to sell Berahino to them.

They had previously earmarked fellow striker Charlie Austin as their top target, but have reservations about whether he is worth QPR’s £15m valuation.

An intriguing tug-of-war for Berahino, who was forced to pull out of England's Under-21 European Championship squad this week due to a knee problem, is now set to break out ahead of the new season.

Berahino had a roller-coaster year, but still scored 14 goals in the Premier League last season and earned a call-up to the senior national squad.
