According to The Daily Mirror, Townsend is set to replace Breakfast sports presenter Chris Hollins who has refused to move with the show to Salford later this year.

Former Republic of Ireland player, Townsend has been a football pundit with ITV Sports for several years, and has worked for the commercial broadcaster during World Cups, European Championships and Champions League games.
