Taylor-made left back in the offing?

The Mirror are speculating that Swansea City's left back Neil Taylor's could be up for grabs for as little as 3 million smackeroonies.

The 26-year-old is heading towards the last season of his current contract, hence the rumours that he may be up for grabs.

Aston Villa, Newcastle and Sunderland are among those mentioned as being in the hunt.

Left back has been a problem area for Villa in recent seasons with a string of players failing to make the position their own. Joe Bennett has spent the season in Brighton, Dame Edna Stevens has been packed off to Doncaster and Tony Moon went to Italy where he vanished without trace, although recently, rare sightings of him are reported.

An injury crisis had caused Tim Sherwood to play Alan Hutton and Matt Lowton in the position of late while Lewis Kinsella is lined-up to make the leap from the Under 21s if thins deteriorate further.

Taylor has impressed at the Liberty of late and Crystal Palace came sniffing in the January window.
