Newcastle United veteran Steven Taylor will reportedly exit the club this summer after 21 years in the North-East.
The 30-year-old defender has spent his entire playing career with the Magpies, having joined the academy in 1995, but has not been offered an extension to his contract, which expires this summer.
The news comes as Newcastle prepare for potential relegation to the Championship following a disastrous season that sees them six points adrift of safety with six games of the season left to play.
According to The Times, Taylor may have already played his last game for the side after being substituted out by frustrated manager Rafael Benitez during last weekend's defeat at Southampton.
Taylor has been part of the Premier League's second worst defence this season, with Newcastle's tally of 61 goals conceded surpassed only by Aston Villa's 64.
