Swansea City full-back Neil Taylor will only stay at the club if Ben Davies leaves, his agent has revealed.

Taylor, 25, became a star with the Swans after being snapped up by Wrexham in 2010, going on to play a key role in both their promotion to the top-flight and their impressive Premier League bow.

But a serious ankle injury suffered at the start of the 2012 campaign saw fellow Wales youngster Davies take advantage of Taylor’s unfortunate absence with an impressive run of games and held down the role for the majority of the most recent season.

Taylor has previously stressed he will not demand any guarantees over his starting status from Monk, claiming he had too much respect for the club that gave him his break into the big time to be issuing ultimatums over a future he admitted was uncertain.

But his agent Jamie Moralee has now insisted Taylor will leave if Davies' proposed £10m move to Spurs does not go through.

Tottenham will try and push through a £10m-plus deal for Davies over the next 48 hours as the Swans get set to give the green-light to the Wales star’s Liberty exit.

"Neil Taylor needs to be playing regular football and that would ideally be at Swansea," Moralee told the South Wales Evening Post.

"If Ben Davies goes then Neil will stay and Swansea will have a perfect player to step in, someone just as good, probably better after a run in the side.

"But if Ben Davies stays, Neil will have to move on because he can't spend another season on the bench.

"Hopefully Neil can stay because my boys like it at Swansea, they like the club and the environment."
