Kilmarnock left back Greg Taylor is reportedly wanted by Celtic and Sunderland.
According to STV, Kilmarnock have rejected Sunderland’s bid for left back Greg Taylor, as it didn’t even reach £1million.
Taylor, 21, was in the Rangers youth ranks before heading to Kilmarnock in 2014, where he has become a first-team star in recent years.
The left back has racked up almost 150 appearances for Killie, and even picked up a Scotland cap earlier this year, under his former Killie boss Steve Clarke.
Unsurprisingly, his form has sparked interest, and it’s now believed that Sunderland have made an offer as Jack Ross attempts to find a left back.
However, Sunderland’s bid was less than £1million, whereas Kilmarnock want £3million for their young left back, meaning a deal now looks unlikely.
It’s added that Celtic have made an approach to Kilmarnock for Taylor, but Sunderland had looked to get in ahead of them with a firm bid.
Sadly for Sunderland, Celtic will be able to better their bid if they still want Taylor, as they need another left back to go with recent signing Boli Bolingoli.
Ross’s search for a left back continues, but having fallen so short of Kilmarnock’s asking price, a move to the Stadium of Light now seems hard to imagine.
