Leeds United news: Charlie Taylor hit with fine as West Brom boss confirms interest in out-of-contract defender

Charlie Taylor has been fined two weeks' wages by Leeds after he refused to play at Wigan amid interest from Premier League clubs.

The left-back pulled out of the Leeds squad for the final game of the Sky Bet Championship season last weekend and boss Garry Monk said afterwards the club would adopt 'a strong stance'.

Taylor attended a disciplinary hearing on Monday and it is understood he was hit with the maximum punishment.

The 23-year-old academy product is out of contract this summer and appears set for a move to the top flight, with West Brom the frontrunners for his signature.
