Matt Taylor says Portsmouth have accepted offers from two Premier League clubs, although he has yet to speak to the interested teams.

The versatile left-sider has struggled for opportunities at Fratton Park this season and has started just three games in the league.

Pompey boss Harry Redknapp has previously suggested he would not stand in Taylor's way, if a suitable offer came in.

Now, according to the 26-year-old, two clubs have matched Pompey's valuation following the opening of the transfer window.

Taylor is now waiting for the opportunity to talk to the clubs concerned as he steps up his search for regular football.

Bolton Wanderers, Everton, Fulham, Reading and Sunderland have all been linked with a bid for the former Luton Town youngster in recent weeks.

The latest speculation has also claimed that Scottish giants Rangers are ready to enter the race to sign Taylor, who can play at full-back or in midfield.
