Taylor ready to take Seaman's place

Arsenal goalkeeper Stuart Taylor has told boss Arsene Wenger he will step into the breach after David Seaman was injured in the Gunners’ disappointing 1-1 home draw with Ajax.

Taylor wants to deputise for Seaman - withdrawn at half-time last night with a hip injury - at Manchester City on Saturday and then Ajax again in a crucial Champions League rematch at the Amsterdam ArenA next Wednesday.
