Fenerbahçe Eyeing Newcastle United Defender
Rumour • Author: Nathan Redd • Wednesday, July 1, 2009
Newcastle United's relegation woes could be Fenerbahçe's gain. Reports out of England this week say the club is interested in Newcastle United star Steven Taylor. The English club are looking to cash in after being relegated after last season, and the defender could be on his way out.
English media outlet The Chronicle and a number of others are reporting that Fener are interested in Taylor. The Chronicle says Taylor nearly joined the Canaries last summer before signing a three-year deal with Newcastle United.
The media outlet states that Taylor initially expressed his desire to remain with Newcastle despite their relegation, but uncertainty at the club has allowed the defender to reconsider his options. The 23-year-old is not expected to make a decision regarding his future until August, however. Taylor reportedly wants to see what changes are made at Newcastle before he makes a commitment to a club.
The report states that English club West Ham United are also interested in Taylor, as are a number of other clubs. Taylor was a pivotal member of the English U-21 team, earning 29 caps and scoring four times. He was also named to the senior squad for England but has yet to see the pitch.
