Town dismiss Taylor to Sheffield United talk
Shrewsbury Town boss Graham Turner has dismissed speculation linking Jon Taylor with a move to Sheffield United.
Turner insisted the in-form winger will be with the club until at least the end of the season.
The Town boss insists he hasn't fielded any calls about the Merseysider, who scored his sixth goal of the campaign in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Hartlepool.
Taylor was struggling to claim a first XI place earlier in the season, but he has been Town's most consistent threat since getting off the mark at Leyton Orient two months ago.
The 20-year-old is understood to be on the radar of several clubs, although a switch to the Blades would be a surprise.
Turner concluded business with United boss Danny Wilson only last week when David McAllister made the move to the Greenhous Meadow.
The Town chief said: "If clubs had been interested I would think there would already have been some enquiries.
"We are in the middle of January now and there has been nothing, so I don't expect Jon to move on. He's having a good spell for us at the moment and he's got to keep that going.
"I had a chat with him a week or so ago and he's quite happy with things. He doesn't want to move from here."
But beyond the transfer window, which shuts on January 31, Town may have a fight on their hands holding on to prize assets like Taylor and defender Jermaine Grandison, who both fall out of contract in the summer.
Turner added: "We're six months from their contracts expiring so we'll take stock of the situation. There are some safeguards for the club for players under 24, although we don't want to lose any players."
Like Taylor, Grandison maintained his impressive form in the draw with Pools despite struggling beforehand with a hip injury.
Town will check on the fitness of strike duo Marvin Morgan, who was ill before the game, and Luke Rodgers who suffered a rib injury.
They dropped a place to 18th after Carlisle's win over Coventry yesterday, but Turner stresses he is more concerned his side begin to turn their run of drawn games into wins.
He said: "We have got to do our own thing and we kept the unbeaten run going, which is important."
