Poised on the very cusp of sealing a move to Fulham, Swansea left-back Neil Taylor saw his hopes of joining the Cottagers dashed on deadline day when his wife chose the most inopportune moment to go into labour.

Having already had a bid rebuffed earlier in the month, Fulham returned with an improved £4million offer on the final day of the window with things said to be progressing nicely until Taylor’s wife reportedly decided to start having a baby mid-afternoon which, fairly understandably, scuppered Taylor’s plans to travel to west London to tie up the loose ends.

Women!
