Swansea reject Newcastle Neil Taylor bid
SWANSEA have rejected Newcastle’s bid for full-back Neil Taylor amid a wrangle over his availability.
The Magpies have been pursuing Taylor, 22, for several weeks after activating what they believed was a £1million release clause.
Swans chairman Huw Jenkins said yesterday: “Neil has an important role to play at this club. We have nurtured his development and we look forward to seeing him play a big role as we enter the Premier League.
“That is why we have rejected Newcastle’s bid. Neil’s agent understands the situation.”
