Tottenham and West Ham both interested in signing ‘brilliant’ defender

According to exclusive information obtained by TBR Football, teenage non-league defender Jack Taylor is a target for both Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United.

Graham Potter still hasn’t decided on a solid back four at West Ham, and Ange Postecoglou is also having a number of problems with his Tottenham defence. Taylor is suddenly becoming a surprising option for both teams.

After graduating from Sutton United’s academy, Taylor, a 19-year-old central defender, started the season on loan to Hampton & Richmond Borough, where he excelled in 23 games.

Given how well Taylor was performing in the National League South, Sutton made the decision to call him up in January. Today, manager Steve Morison regularly starts the defender.

Given Taylor’s recent progress, TBR football head correspondent Graeme Bailey is aware that both Tottenham and West Ham have been keeping an eye on him.

Scouts from both London clubs were present to watch the teenage defender win Player of the Match

after he recently pulled off a major upset over York City, a top-tier team.

Taylor played two games for Sutton in League Two the previous season, but with his growth this

season, his reputation has significantly increased.

Since before Christmas, Crystal Palace, Charlton Athletic, Millwall, Peterborough United, Spurs, and West Ham have all been keeping tabs on the defender.

Taylor would undoubtedly advance significantly if he switched from non-league football to any of the teams listed, but his development is drawing a lot of attention.

Recently, Sutton Academy boss Jimmy Dack, who has been instrumental in orchestrating Taylor’s

recent success, called him a “brilliant” defender.
