  Everton approach Newcastle for Taylor

  Everton are eyeing Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor.

  The Daily Mail says Everton have approached Newcastle about a price for the Geordie.

  Taylor’s description of Newcastle last Saturday as "a joke" revealed the home-grown centre half’s intentions.

  Everton are seeking such a defender and are understood to have pulled back from signing Philippe Senderos.

  Everton to bid £8M for Newcastle's Taylor

  Everton are ready to slap in a bid for Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor.

  The Telegraph says Everton manager David Moyes is poised to make an £8 million bid for Newcastle United centre-back Taylor.

  Moyes has turned to Taylor after his attempts to sign Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos fell through earlier in the summer.
