Crystal Palace star Townsend employs personal striker coach

Crystal Palace star Andros Townsend has enlisted the help of a striker coach to increase his chances of making England's Euro2020 squad.

Townsend is working with England striker coach Allan Russell to improve on last season's goal tally of nine, according to The Daily Mail.

As well as his work with England's players, Russell has held one-on-one sessions with the likes of Wilfried Zaha and Marcus Rashford in the past.

The report claims England coach Gareth Southgate is considering recalling Townsend for the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Montenegro in March.
