Bournemouth are considering a swoop for Leeds United left-back Charlie Taylor, according to the Sun.

The 22-year-old’s future has been the subject of intense speculation over the summer, with various Premier League clubs showing interest in signing the youngster.

Leeds, however, have made it clear that they want to hold on to their man, although the Sun report that a bid of around £8 million could tempt the Elland Road outfit into selling.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe outlined earlier this month how he is not looking to bring anyone else into the club (ITV Sport), unless he finds a young player with lots of potential, and Taylor would appear to fit that bill perfectly.

Taylor has been part of the senior setup at Elland Road since 2011 and has made 78 appearances for the West Yorkshire outfit, despite spending four separate loan spells away from the club.

Bournemouth have made an underwhelming start to their Premier League campaign, with a draw and two losses leaving them in 19th place in the table, so the addition of a player of Taylor’s quality would surely be a boost for the South Coast club.
