Slaven Bilic is looking to add to his squad ahead of the Hammers move to the Olympic Stadium.
And according to Squawka, Bilic wants to take full advantage of Newcastle's relegation by brining both Townsend and Wijnaldum to East London this summer.
Townsend only joined the Magpies from Tottenham for £12million back in January.
But he impressed at St James' Park, scoring four goals in in 14 Premier League appearances, while also earning a place in Roy Hodgson’s England squad for Euro 2016.
