Subpar showing against Fiorentina Taylor recorded two crosses (zero accurate), one clearance and one chance created and won one tackle in Monday's 1-0 loss to Fiorentina.

Impact Taylor didn't get much going, even though his side attacked at a decent rate despite failing to break through.

Provides assist versus Parma Taylor assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two tackles (zero won) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Parma.

Impact Taylor didn't have a superb showing, but combined with Tijjani Noslin before the equalizer, tallying his first helper since moving to Italy, while he has found the target three times. He has fired at least one shot in 10 matches in a row, accumulating 15 attempts (six on target) and adding six key passes and seven crosses (one accurate) during that stretch.

Scores brace in win Taylor scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Bologna. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 77th minute.

Impact Taylor delivered a strong performance in Sunday's 2-0 win over Bologna, scoring a late brace to secure all three points for his side, ending his six match run without a goal contribution. The midfielder opened the scoring by reacting quickest to a loose ball in the box before adding a second on a Boulaye Dia assist, while also recording one tackle, one interception and one block. The Dutchman is an undisputed starter for his side, but his role does not always allow him to be consistently decisive, having recorded three goal contributions in 15 appearances this season.

Inter Milan is limping into the international break on a four-match winless streak across all competitions that has seen its Serie A lead reduced to six points

MARCH 22 • Associated Press

Two crosses in start Taylor logged one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory over AC Milan.

Impact For the second time across Lazio's last four games, Taylor attempted multiple crosses. In each of the four games, he logged exactly one shot. However, Taylor got an on-goal shot in only the first of Taylor's four appearances, and he is without any goals or assists across said span.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in Genoa fixture Taylor scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target), two tackles (two won) and one clearance in Friday's 3-2 victory versus Genoa.

Impact Taylor was serviceable in both phases and bagged the second goal for his side with a precise cross-shot while trailing a counter-attack. He has de facto replaced Matteo Guendouzi right after joining, seeing big minutes in four straight matches and registering two tackles in each of them (four won), notching also five shots and four chances created since heading to Italy.

Solid debut performance Kenneth Taylor was subbed off due to injury in the 92nd minute of Sunday's 1-0 win over Verona. He generated two tackles (zero won) before exiting the match.

Impact Taylor made his first start for his new club against Verona on Sunday and contributed at both ends of the pitch, delivering two key passes offensively while also recording two tackles defensively. The midfielder took his place in the starting XI following Matteo Guendouzi's recent move to Fenerbahce.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Back in contention Taylor (undisclosed) took part in his team's last official match agains NEC Nijmegen.

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.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Taylor was sent off against Chelsea and handed a one-match ban, but is now fit and available to return. The midfielder will likely return to the starting XI immediately for the clash with Benfica. Davy Klaassen got the start in his place against Galatasaray.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off against Chelsea Taylor was shown a straight red card and sent off during Wednesday's clash with Chelsea.

Impact Taylor was shown a red card early in the first half and sent off. The midfielder will now be suspended for a Nov. 5 clash with Galatasaray. Davy Klaassen could play in that match with Taylor suspended for the Champions League clash.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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 led Ajax with his most shots in UCL play so far, but it wasn't enough to avoid the tough road loss. The midfielder also took three of their seven corner kicks. He started in both their games in the competition, but has yet to score or assist.

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Key player in midfield with Ajax Taylor is set to be a key player in the midfield with Ajax for the fourth consecutive season and will play an important role in the squad during the 2025/26 Champions League campai...

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.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.
