Swansea City manager Garry Monk has revealed that full-back Neil Taylor is edging closer to a new deal with the club.
The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from the Liberty Stadium, with Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion reportedly keen.
However, Taylor has enjoyed more first-team football in South Wales this season and Monk is eager to keep him.
He told reporters: "[It's] hopefully really close. Neil wants to commit to the club. We're very happy to have him here, he's had a fantastic season.
"Obviously he's missed the last couple of years in terms of being a regular. I've given him that opportunity this season to try and progress and he's done well, and it's allowed him back onto the international stage as well. Going forward, we're looking to secure Neil at the club."
Taylor moved to the Swans from Wrexham in 2010.
