Turkish club Galatasaray are reportedly hoping to sign Taye Taiwo from AC Milan this summer.

The 27-year-old's future at the San Siro has been the subject of much speculation since it was revealed last week that he had not been given a squad number for the upcoming campaign.

That news has alerted Galatasaray coach Fatih Terim, who is keen to boost his defensive options ahead of the new season, according to The Nation.

However, the report has claimed that Benfica and Dynamo Kiev are both monitoring the situation closely.

Taiwo spent the second half of last season on loan with Premier League side Queens Park Rangers.
