Villa, Fulham and Everton in three-way battle for Toon defender Taylor

19 August 2009 11:04
Aston Villa, Fulham and Everton are locked in a three-way fight for Newcastle United's Steven Taylor. The former England Under-21 international is the subject of enquiries from all  three clubs but at the moment, none have matched the £6m asking price. The centre-half signalled that he was going to leave St James' Park by  undertaking a personal lap of honour after the 3-0 defeat of Reading last  weekend. But with both Villa and Everton in desperate need of defensive reinforcements,  it is likely that they will return with a hard bid that is close to the fee.
