As reported on The72 on Monday, Leeds United – along with Celtic and Hull City – are all interested in signing Bristol Rover’s clinical finisher Matt Taylor.
The forward has been in scintillating form for the Pirates this season, netting a league-high 27 goals and contributing five assists.
He ended the campaign on a run of scoring in the clubs last six games and Rovers fans are understandably keen to keep hold of their prized asset..

Taylor’s goals were instrumental in Rover’s promotion winning season. The Pirates went up via goal difference as both they and Accrington finished the season on 85 points in third place.
