Two shots Saturday Taylor generated two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Atalanta. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 78th minute.

Impact Taylor took a pair of shots during Saturday's loss, putting both on goal, but just couldn't find the back of the net. It was a frustrating day for the entire Lazio team as they just couldn't find a way to get past a stout Atalanta defense. Taylor will hope for more productive end product against some easier opponents in the coming weeks.

Heads to Lazio Taylor has joined Lazio on a permanent deal from Ajax.

Impact Taylor was acquired shortly after the departure of midfield cornerstone Matteo Guendouzi and in an early candidate to absorb his heavy workload, but Lazio likely aren't adding to the position. Taylor has notched two goals and four assists in 15 Eredivisie fixtures and has put up four shots (one on target), 10 crosses (one accurate) and eight tackles (four one) in four UEFA Champions League games.

Impact Taylor is an option to start in central midfield and take some set pieces, holding offensive value in most contests. He has scored twice and delivered four assists across 15 league appearances this season, but he's yet to achieve a goal contribution in four Champions League games. Sean Steur will likely see his playing time reduced now that Taylor if fit.

Doesn't travel Taylor is out for Wednesday's match against Qarabag due to an injury, according to Ajax Life.

Impact Taylor has hit the sidelines ahead of Wednesday's match and will not travel with the team, out to face Qarabag. Unfortunately for the club, he is a starter in the midfield, possibly forcing Youri Regeer into a more central role in the starting XI. He will likely look to see the field in their next UCL game against Villarreal on Jan. 20m with over a month to recover.

Eligible for return Taylor is eligible for a Tuesday clash with Benfica after serving a one-match ban.

Takes four shots in loss Kenneth Taylor recorded four shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Tuesday's 4-0 loss versus Marseille.

Impact Taylor has played more than 44 games across all competitions for Ajax in each of the last three seasons and is expected to maintain that role in the 2025/26 Champions League campaign, which begins next Wednesday with the home match against Inter Milan at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Sees single cameo Taylor made one five-minute appearance during the World Cup group stage.

Impact Taylor saw just five minute off the bench and is near the bottom of the pecking order for the Dutch national team. The midfielder is a strong box-to-box player but just isn't required and largely fills the same role as Frenkie De Jong, making it unlikely he sees any playing time in the knockout stage.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Active off bench Taylor had one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Impact Taylor came off the bench for the final 30 minutes of Wednesday's loss, and looked his usually productive self in central midfield. He was struggling with a muscular issue before the match forcing him out of the starting XI, but when fully fit Taylor should be a consistent starter. The midfielder has strong upside in the final match of the group stage against Rangers on Tuesday.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available for selection Taylor (undisclosed) will be available for Wednesday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Taylor will preserve his chances of starting in every group stage game despite missing the last two league matches due to injury. If he's still not able to start, Steven Berghuis, Edson Alvarez and Davy Klaassen would make a likely trio in midfield for another game.

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off with knock Taylor was brought off during the second half of Wednesday's clash with Napoli with a knock.

Impact Taylor came off with a knock in the second half, unable to carry on after attempting to play through it. Florian Grillitsch was brought in to replace him and would likely see more time in the starting XI both domestically and in the Champions League if Taylor is unable to go against Liverpool or Rangers in the final two matches of the group stage.

Picks up assist in Napoli collapse Taylor assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate), and one corner in Tuesday's 1-6 loss versus Napoli.

Impact Taylor generated the only goal for his side with a sharp finish from inside the box that ricocheted off of Mohammed Kudus before going in. He struggled in the rest of the game like most of his teammates. It's his first assist in the competition, while he has notched four shots (two on target), created three chances, and sent in five inaccurate crosses. Ajax will face Napoli again away next Wednesday.

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes five tackles in loss Taylor made five tackles (three won) and logged two interceptions during the Sept. 13 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Taylor has started the opening two matches of the group stage and was far more involved defensively during this loss. Given the difficulties of the group against Liverpool and Napoli, Taylor is likely to offer more production behind the ball than in the attack, as he did in the opener against Rangers with two chances created.
