‘Valencia could make West Brom swoop’ after Caleb Taylor bid
Caleb Taylor’s future at West Brom is uncertain this summer.
The defender enjoyed a successful spell out on loan to Wycombe Wanderers last season, where he just missed out on promotion to the Championship.
His performances did not go unnoticed, with Millwall placing a bid to sign Taylor this week.
West Brom are looking for £3 million for Taylor this summer, and with the twists and turns of the transfer window, multiple teams may end up coming in.
Valencia could eye Caleb Taylor this transfer window
Valencia have made a habit of going after West Brom’s assets recently.
Manager Carlos Corberan moved to Valencia last season as he guided the Spanish side to La Liga safety.
However, it now appears that he will lose star man Christian Mosquera, who has agreed personal terms with Arsenal, according to Fabrizio Romano (29 June).
As a result, Corberan may look to raid his former club to replace the defender, with a move for Taylor possible.
The Spaniard has pursued stars from the Baggies already. Valencia were linked with Grady Diangana, who is set to leave The Hawthorns this month.
With Taylor showing plenty of promise, Corberan may be tempted to splash £3m on the defender.
Valencia had previously signed former EFL star Max Aarons under his management, and now he could look to repeat this trick.
Taylor seems unlikely to remain at West Brom
Given that West Brom have already put a price on Taylor, it seems unlikely that he will be at The Hawthorns for too much longer.
The is obviously a big loss, with the 22-year-old having plenty of potential.

However, with West Brom set to make pure profit on Taylor’s move, Ryan Mason needs to ensure that the funds are reinvested into the squad this summer.
If not, the Baggies could be left behind in the race for Premier League promotion in the upcoming season.
