Swansea manager Michael Laudrup believes Ben Davies has the attributes to become a top Premier League centre-half.

Taylor is getting ever closer to his first-team return from his horrific ankle injury, and Laudrup plans to give him an appearance before the end of the season. But for next season he will consider Taylor and Davies as his two left-back options, despite their ability to play other positions. Taylor, in particular, impressed at right-back when playing for Team GB at last summer's Olympics. He said: "I see them as two left-backs. For a great part of the season we have spoken about the lack of alternatives in certain positions but never at left-back, even though we only had one all season. "We brought in Dwight Tiendalli after Neil got injured, but he is right-footed and is better at right-back. "We have only had one left-footed left-back for the whole season so next season I want two for each position and I see them as two left-backs."
