Leeds United have signed Spurs winger Andros Townsend on loan as they look to get their stuttering season back on track.
Simon Grayson is planning an overhaul of his team.Manager Simon Grayson vowed to make changes after his side's poor display in the 4-1 thumping by Barnsley at Oakwell on Saturday, which saw them drop to 10th in the Championship table.
"Any footballer can have a poor day at the office, but unless someone chops your legs off, you can run around. It's embarrassing to be the manager of the club. They're my players and my team. One or two might not play for the club again," Grayson fumed after the defeat.
Townsend is set to go straight into the squad for the home clash on Monday against Burnley, which Leeds are 8.50 to win 1-0. A 2-1 away victory is at 11.00 while a 2-2 draw can be backed at 13.00.
Andros is a quality young player with proven experience at this level.

"Andros is a quality young player with proven experience at this level and we're delighted to be able to bring him to Leeds," Grayson told the club's official website.
