What has happened to him to see him FOUTH choice Newcastle central defender?
Last season turned into a personal nightmare for the local lad whose commitment to the club he supports has never been questioned – but the Alan Pardew's commitment to him has become less than 100%.
Taylor played just 11 times in the previous campaign.
QPR and Hull City are both after him.
Taylor’s agent, Jonathan Hope: “I can confirm I have had talks to several clubs in regards to Taylor.
“Yes, a lot of interest and great opportunities but I will state now Steven Taylor is going nowhere.
“He is contractually obliged to Newcastle United and he wants to play for the club he loves.
“Despite media reports I am saying now Steven Taylor and myself are not interested in talking to anyone else.
“Our focus is Newcastle and fighting for a place in Alan Pardew’s plans.
“He is not looking to leave Newcastle and hopefully this will end speculation over his future.”
