Arsenal and Newcastle United keeping tabs on Kenneth Taylor
As per CaughtOffside, both Gunners and Magpies are closely monitoring Taylor. The report further says that Ajax are unwilling to sell the Dutch talent but a offer around €35 million may be enough to convince them.
Gunners are planning to improve their midfield department. They have been linked with Martin Zubimendi recently. But, Taylor is younger than Zubimendi which makes him more of a long term solution. In addition, he will cost way less that the Spaniard.
Arsenal have good options at the club right now. But, they will be losing Jorginho and Thomas Partey next year. Both of these players are in their final year of contract. There are no news about extension which suggests that Gunners will have to plan their replacements soon.
On the other hand, the Magpies will try to improve their squad very soon. They will want to compete for the top four position. In addition, they may lose their star players like Bruno Guimaraes in near future. Taylor looks like a player who can add more quality in Newcastle squad.
