Townsend deal has been delayed due to a couple of reasons, for one we are unwilling to improve tottenham's finances as they will likely use the money on Berahino whom is also a target.
We are more likely to get Berahino the longer he has to wait for a transfer move. We are also more likely to get a reduced price on Townsend the longer we leave Levy to sweat.
I can imagine both deals won't be completed until the end of next week.

The backup if we cannot get Townsend for 10 million is Andre Carrillo, we have previously scouted him alot. His contract runs out at the end of the year and so Lisbon are keen to cash in while they can, a host of other clubs are also interested such as Stoke, Bournemouth and Leicester.
We will not be forced into paying a massive amount for Berahino, I believe we are offering 15 Million + add ons so the fee could rise to around 21 million. Sandro Ramirez is believed to be an option should this fall through.
