Taylor wants Newcastle negotiations

Newcastle had put their 24 year old defender on the Transfer List after it was rumoured that he had demanded too high wages.

The statement released on his behalf read: “Figures released to the media do not accurately reflect the position of either Steven or his agent.

“Both (Taylor and the club) remain happy to continue negotiations over a new and extended Newcastle United contract.

“Steven was disappointed and surprised to hear through third parties that the club had decided to transfer list him.

“He has always given 100% to the club and will continue to do so given the opportunity.”
