Have Leeds done enough to get Charlie Taylor to commit to the club?

Leeds United’s season is developing better than even the most optimistic of fans could have expected, with the Whites sitting in fourth position, in a play-off spot.

Yet a number of question marks hang over key members of Garry Monk’s side, including first choice left-back Charlie Taylor who is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.

A number of Premier League sides have been linked to Taylor in recent months, and this is likely to continue heading into the January transfer window unless he commits his future to the club.

Just like England striker Harry Kane shrugged off uncertainty over his future last week by signing a new long term deal with Tottenham Hotspur, now is the perfect time for Charlie Taylor to commit to Leeds United.

Taylor handed in a transfer request in the summer as he sought to push through a Premier League move, which Leeds flatly denied.

Since then as far as this season has panned out, Taylor simply could not have asked for any more from Leeds United.

After finishing as mid-table also rans in previous campaign, they are now looking like genuine promotion contenders.

Currently they are seven points off an automatic promotion spot, but can reel in second placed Brighton if they can pull off a surprise win at the Amex this Friday night.

Win that and any non-believers really will start convincing themselves Leeds can do it, and Taylor will surely owe it to the club to stop his own personal situation derailing the team.

He need only look at the misfortune of ex-Leeds teammate Sam Byram who left last season to become a bit-part player at West Ham, to realise that he may be better off where he is, and there would be no better time than the present to put pen to paper on a new contract.
