Leeds boss Neil Warnock has confirmed Andros Townsend has ended his loan spell at Elland Road to return to Tottenham.

Warnock disappointed with midfielder's choice

Leeds boss Neil Warnock has confirmed Andros Townsend has ended his loan spell at Elland Road to return to Tottenham. Townsend joined Leeds on New Year's Day and has made seven appearances during his time in Yorkshire. However, the player has opted to cut short his stay at Leeds as he struggled to settle at the club. Warnock admits he is disappointed to lose the midfielder amid rumours that Birmingham are lining up a swoop for the 20-year-old.

Disappointed

"I've lost Townsend," Warnock told the club's official website. "His agent told me he didn't like here, he wasn't happy and he hadn't settled. "I've heard that Birmingham want to sign him, I don't know if that's got anything to do with it. "I'm disappointed because we've lost a player, but I don't want people who don't want to be here so good riddance I say if it's what he wants to do."
