Leeds United Reject £7m Bids From 3 Premier League Teams for Full Back Charlie Taylor
"?Leeds United have rejected bids from three Premier League clubs for full-back Charlie Taylor, according to "?the Guardian.
Leeds are adamant Taylor will not be sold this January, and have already rejected £7m bids from top flight sides Crystal Palace, West Brom and Middlesbrough. The 23-year-old submitted a transfer request during the summer and only has six months left on his current contract.
All three Premier League clubs are eager to improve their options at left-back, and believe the former England U19 international will be able to make the switch from the Championship to the top flight seamlessly. Garry Monk has previously signalled his intentions during this transfer window, insisting no one will be leaving.
"We do not have to sell anyone and we won't be selling anyone," Monk revealed.
"It'll only be incomings. There will be no one leaving in this window."
Taylor played in youth teams at Leeds United before making his debut as a 17-year-old in a League Cup fixture against Bradford City in 2011. He has spent time on loan at Bradford, York City, Inverness CT and Fleetwood town before establishing himself at Leeds as the club's first choice left-back in the 2014/15 season.
Leeds are currently embroiled in a promotion battle, with Monks' side fifth in the Championship, seven points behind second placed Newcastle United. Taylor has made 22 Championship appearances so far this season, contributing two assists. He is currently injured and will miss Leeds' game against Derby County on Friday.
