Swansea defender catches eye at Olympics

Sky Sports understands a host of the Premier League big guns are tracking Swansea and Great Britain star Neil Taylor. Taylor has shone in the Olympics and has been an ever-present in Stuart Pearce's starting XI as Team GB have progressed to the quarter-finals The 22-year-old enjoyed an outstanding debut campaign in the Premier League last season with Swansea and a number of top clubs have been keeping tabs on his progress. Taylor's impressive performances for Team GB, where he has been utilised at left-back and right-back, have also caught the eye of his admirers. The former Wrexham man came close to joining Newcastle last summer before Swansea secured him on a new long-term deal at the Liberty Stadium. The likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham are all thought to be keeping a watching brief on Taylor as they are in the market for defensive reinforcements at full-back. Swansea would be loath to lose Taylor, but they could find it hard to keep the player if one of the Premier League heavyweights come calling for him.
