Liverpool Join Race To Sign Matt Taylor

Bolton's versatile defender-cum-midfielder Matt Taylor could be set for a move to either West Ham or Liverpool this summer after both clubs reportedly made initial enquiries about the player this week. 

Taylor hasn't featured in either of Bolton's opening two Premier League fixtures, and may demand a move before the end of the transfer window if he continues to be overlooked.
Trotters boss Owen Coyle is keen to hold onto the 28-year-old, who impressed with Portsmouth before moving to the Reebok Stadium in 2008.

But with Hammers boss Avram Grant - a former Pompey director of football during Taylor's spell on the south coast - keen to take the talented left-sided star to Upton Park, he could have his head turned.
Similarly, Reds manager Hodgson is deserpate to add another left-back to his squad and wants a player with Premier League experience and one he knows about already.

And the former Fulham boss believes Taylor would be the perfect foil for right-back Glen Johnson in marauding forward from the full-back positions.
Hodgson has previously spoken of his reluctance to sign players on a whim - especially ones he has not scouted as the end of the transfer window closes in.
However, Taylor is a player he is familiar with and one that could come at a bargain price for the Anfield outfit.
