Bristol Rovers chairman Steve Hamer has suggested to The Scottish Sun that the club could part company with Matty Taylor in the January transfer window.

According to The Scottish Sun, Rangers are among a number of clubs interested in signing Taylor.

Championship trio Brighton & Hove Albion, Cardiff City and Queens Park Rangers are also claimed to be interested in the 26-year-old striker.

It has been reported that the striker has a buy-out clause of less than £1 million.

Rovers chairman Hamer has suggested that the League One outfit could be open to parting company with Taylor.

“If there is a deal on the table that is good for the football club and good for the player then it is something you have to consider if and when that situation arises,” Hamer told The Scottish Sun.

“But Matty has recently signed a new contract and selling him in the January window is the last thing on our minds at the moment.”

From Hamer’s comments, it seems that Rovers are open to selling Taylor in the January transfer window, but only if they are offered a good fee.

Rangers chairman Dave King recently told The Glasgow Evening Times that manager Mark Warburton will be given funds in January in order to reinforce his squad.

Taylor is a good striker, but would he be able to step up from League One in England to the Scottish Premiership?

Rangers won automatic promotion from the Scottish Championship to the Scottish Premiership at the end of last season.

There is a clause in the strikers contract.

The latest transfer news involving Championship clubs

Transfer news: QPR,Cardiff and Wolves are in for striker,The Daily Mirror claim.


Matt Taylor is one of the top strikers in the lower divisions and his record is second to none.

Taylor who has scored 15 in 22 games this season and a total of 60 goals in the past two and a half seasons.

Bristol Rovers Striker Matt Taylor has scored 56 goals in 108 appearances for Rovers.

QPR and Cardiff want Bristol Rovers striker Matt Taylor., but there are a host of other clubs as Brighton, Wolves, and Glasgow Rangers supposedly also want the 26-year-old, who has scored 15 goals in 22 matches this season.

Those clubs “have all come in for Taylor” and he is “valued in the £1m bracket” but a clause in his Rovers contract means he can go for less, the Daily Mirror say.


The four interested Championship clubs have been watching him regularly and he could be set to go which would be a huge blow to Rovers’ own play-off hopes.
