Everton are in the mix to sign the want-away Leeds United defender.

Bookmakers Bet Victor are offering odds on Charlie Taylor’s next club.

The Leeds United left-back is out of contract this summer and looks certain to move on after he refused to appear in the Whites’ season finale against Wigan.

West Bromwich Albion and Liverpool have been strongly linked with move for Taylor in the aftermath of that decision, although Bet Victor’s latest odds suggest the pair will face a battle to land the 23-year-old.

Linked in March, Stoke City (3/1) are listed as second favourites for Taylor’s signature after the Baggies (2/1), with Liverpool next (4/1).

But with odds of 6/1, Everton cannot be overlooked, despite having not been linked with a move for Taylor since November last year [The Mirror].

The Toffees could well be in the market for a left-back this summer, with Leighton Baines not getting any younger and the futures of Brendan Galloway and Luke Garbutt – a former Leeds trainee – uncertain.

And as a young Englishman who began his career in the Football League, Taylor falls into the same category as a number of recent Everton additions.

Leeds are expected to receive a compensation pay-out of seven figures if Taylor moves to another English club.

The full list:

West Brom – 2/1

Stoke – 3/1

Liverpool – 4/1

Everton – 6/1

Tottenham – 8/1

Leicester/Southampton/Newcastle – 12/1
