\"Neil Taylor shone in his first season with Swansea<\/span> <\/p>\n

Newcastle have made an undisclosed bid for Swansea left-back Neil Taylor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old made 30 league appearances last season as the Swans won promotion to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Swans chairman Huw Jenkins said: “We have received a proposal from Newcastle regarding Neil, but it has not been accepted or rejected at this stage.<\/p>\n

“We have received a number of bids for Neil’s services and we will be talking it over with him when he returns from a break next week.”<\/p>\n

Swansea signed Taylor from non-league Wrexham at the start of last season for a tribunal-fixed fee of \u00a3150,000 plus 10% of any future transfer profit.<\/p>\n

The highly-rated Wales international agreed a three-year contract at the Liberty Stadium.<\/p>\n

Jenkins added: “Neil is a player we brought to the club this season from the Conference with Wrexham with a view to him progressing and developing with us over a number of years.<\/p>\n

“The last thing on our minds is to sell anyone over the summer.”<\/p>\n

Taylor began his career in the youth set-up at Manchester City before leaving for Wrexham at the age of 15 due to injury.<\/p>\n

He made more than 80 appearances over three years for his hometown club.<\/p>\n

Taylor was a key figure in the Swans’ promotion-winning campaign, but missed the play-off final triumph against Reading through suspension after being sent off in the first minute of the semi-final first leg against Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

He earned his first senior Wales cap under John Toshack in a friendly against Croatia in May 2010.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
