Leeds United may have been given a boost in their hopes of keeping hold of Charlie Taylor, as team most interested in his signature appear to have moved on.
West Brom have been strongly linked with the Leeds left-back for some time now. With the young defender out of contract at Elland Road this summer there are fears that he may set to quit West Yorkshire – with the Hawthorns a potential location.
However, West Brom are reportedly looking at Schalke 04 defender Dennis Aogo instead.
The Daily Mail report that West Brom have scouted the German international this season and Tony Pulis is a fan of the physical attributes the player could bring to his side.

Aogo, who can also play in midfield, has won 12 caps for Germany and like Taylor is out of contract in the summer.
Leeds fans will be pleased to hear this news. For the past few months it has appeared that West Brom were the favourites to sign their talented full-back, so the fact they may have moved on will give Leeds fans hope that they might be able to convince Taylor into an Elland Road stay.
