Queens Park Rangers keen on former Newcastle United defender Ryan Taylor?

Queens Park Rangers have reportedly made former Newcastle United defender Ryan Taylor a summer transfer target.

The 30-year-old was released by the Magpies last month after spending over six years at St James' Park.

A string of injury problems have limited the full-back to just 17 appearances since 2012.

However, Taylor could soon be on his way to QPR as manager Chris Ramsey looks to re-build his squad, according to The Mirror.

Bournemouth, Norwich City, Hull City and Nottingham Forest are also thought to be monitoring the player.
