# Palace fans want Townsend to be given a new contract

Many Crystal Palace fans want to see the club give Andros Townsend a new contract at the club.

The Englishman’s current deal with the Eagles [expires in the summer of 2021](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andros-townsend/profil/spieler/61842)and the player himself has hinted that he wants a new deal.

As reported on [The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/crystal-palace-complete-13million-andros-8323498), Townsend joined Palace in the summer of 2016 for a fee of £13m.

The winger’s current contract sees him earning[£55,000 on a weekly basis](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/crystal-palace/payroll/) and after playing just 885 minutes in all competitions this season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andros-townsend/leistungsdaten/spieler/61842)), the club seems hesitant to renew his deal now.

The 28-year-old missed multiple matches after picking up [an injury in December](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2019/december/roy-hodgson-post-match-crystal-palace-v-brighton--hove-albion-at-selhurst-park/)but is now back and made a [13-minute appearance](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andros-townsend/leistungsdaten/spieler/61842) from the bench during the 1-0 defeat against Sheffield United earlier this month.

Townsend has been an unused substitute in the two matches after that and could be in line for a start against rivals Brighton and Hove Albion this weekend.

These fans [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/CPFC_NEWS_HQ/status/1232665251587510272) have made it clear that they want Townsend to be given a new deal.
