AFC Bournemouth targets Kenneth Taylor in potential transfer

AFC Bournemouth is reportedly preparing a winter move for Lazio midfielder Kenneth Taylor. The 24-year-old Dutch international is valued at approximately €25 million, a figure Lazio may accept in January.

Bournemouth views Taylor as a key candidate to strengthen their midfield, potentially serving as a successor should Alex Scott depart for Chelsea. While Taylor is under contract with the Italian club until 2030, Bournemouth remains interested despite competition from Juventus. The club is also monitoring Kees Smit of AZ Alkmaar as an alternative option.

On the pitch, Bournemouth is experiencing a period of significant form. Following a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa in the EFL Cup round of 16, the club has secured five consecutive wins across all competitions. This run includes notable performances against Manchester United and AC Milan in the Europa League. The team now prepares for a quarter-final clash against Liverpool at Anfield and an upcoming match against Leeds United.
