Burnley defender Charlie Taylor has been declared bankrupt due to unpaid bills. The 30-year-old left-back, who earns around £30,000-a-week at Turf Moor, is understood to have been issued with a bankruptcy order last year and is in the process of having it annulled.
Taylor declined to comment, but Mail Sport has learned that the missed payments were the result of an administrative error rather than any serious financial problems or a deliberate attempt to avoid paying.
The debt has since been settled and an application has been made to the High Court for the bankruptcy to be annulled, which is close to being granted.
