Former Ipswich and Queens Park Rangers boss Jim Magilton has thrown his hat into the ring for the vacant manager's job at Leeds United.
Leeds are searching for a new manager after Neil Warnock stepped down from his role at Elland Road earlier this week.
Magilton, who most recently worked in Australia as head coach of Melbourne Victory having previously enjoyed successful stints with Ipswich Town and Queens Park Rangers, is highly-regarded in coaching circles.
In his first managerial role at Ipswich the 43-year-old just missed out on the play-offs in his second season in charge at Portman Road before moving to QPR.
A number of names have been linked with the Leeds job and former Northern Ireland international Magilton admits he would be interested in the replacing Warnock at Elland Road as he looks to get back into management.
"Of course I would be interested in taking over at Leeds United," Magilton told skysports.com.
"Leeds United are a massive club in England and it would be a fantastic job for anyone.
"I would relish the chance to manage Leeds and it would be an honour for whoever gets it."
Taylor broke and dislocated his ankle in a challenge with Sunderland's Craig Gardner, and was expected to miss the rest of the campaign.
However, the 24-year-old played 80 minutes for the club's Under-21s on Tuesday night, and with seven games remaining, Swans boss Laudrup expects to be able to include Taylor in his squad at some stage before the end of the season.
Laudrup said: "Physically he is quite close to being back.
"He has trained with us for some weeks, but we all know match fitness is a different level and only by coming back will he get that.
"The physical part is one thing, the mental part is another after a triple fracture, which is quite an injury.
"I am happy he's back and let's see when he can come in and make his comeback."
This weekend's trip to Norwich will come too soon for Taylor, but Laudrup has been boosted by the fitness of Chico Flores and Angel Rangel for the clash with the Canaries.
Flores aggravated an ankle injury having returned from seven weeks on the sidelines against Tottenham, while Rangel missed the 2-1 defeat with a calf problem, but both have returned to training.
Kemy Agustien is also closing in on a return from a thigh injury.
Laudrup said: "Chico and Angel have been training this week and should be back. Kemy has also been training with us for a couple of days."
Swansea head to Carrow Road on the back of three straight defeats and will be hoping to turn that run around as they look to hang on to a place in the top 10.
Norwich, on the other hand, are still in the midst of a battle against relegation, and Chris Hughton's side have won just one of their last 14 Premier League games.
Laudrup wants to see his side get back on track, and close in on his target of 50 points for the season.
"Norwich are a very strong team struggling with a very bad run, they are at home, and they will want to beat us," he said.
"We can win, but the most important thing is to come back and get at least a point.
"It will be a hard game, a physical game. Norwich are the team with the most goals from set-pieces in the league, more than Stoke, West Ham or Everton, which was a surprise.
"We are one of the teams who concede the most goals from set-pieces. We have to be strong, not concede free-kicks and corners. It will be a tough game for us, really tough.
"Fifty points is still possible, but if we want them with the games we have to play we need to at least get a draw this weekend."
