South London Press - Taylor: Shefki going nowhere - Aug 14 2007 - By Richard Cawley
"...Meanwhile Taylor has admitted his disappointment at missing out on West Ham’s Hogan Ephraim, who joined Championship rivals QPR on loan last week.
I wanted Hogan to come in because he can play wide or up front," said Taylor. "But I’m interested in having him for longer than a month so I’m going to keep an eye on his situation. I wouldn’t rule out making a move for him later in the season." South London Press
From a couple of Weeks Ago: Crystal Palace's Interest in Hogan Ephraim (before Ephraim joined QPR on Loan)
This is Local London - Eagles step closer to Hogan swoop By Sami Mokbel
Crystal Palace target Hogan Ephraim has moved a step closer to a Selhurst Park switch after admitting his future lies away from West Ham.
Eagles boss Taylor revealed he is interested in acquiring the 19-year-old forward's services earlier this week and it now seems his chances of swooping for the Upton Park starlet have increased after Ephraim admitted he is likely to leave the Premiership big-spenders.
Ephraim has fallen down the pecking order at the Boleyn Ground after Alan Curbishley's summer acquisitions Craig Bellamy, Julien Faubert and Freddie Ljungberg - and it now seems the youngster has decided to cut his losses in search of first-team football.
However, Taylor will face stiff competition for his signature from fellow Championship rivals Colchester United where Ephraim made 21 appearances as part of a loan deal last year.
Ephraim said: "It doesn't look like I'll be in West Ham's first team now so I'm hoping for a loan move so that I can get regular football."
"There has been a few clubs interested but only one has made firm contact with West Ham."
He added: "I've asked the manager whether I can choose the club that is right for me to go on loan to but he may have a different preference and I would respect that." This is Local London
This is Local London - Eagles boss eyes Hogan swoop
Crystal Palace boss Peter Taylor is eyeing a loan swoop for West Ham starlet Hogan Ephraim as he looks to bolster his attacking options ahead of the new season.
The 19-year-old, who made 21 appearances on loan at Championship rivals Colchester United last season, has been earmarked by Taylor as the man to add some spark to his forward line.
But the Eagles chief insists that any potential deal is still a long way from fruition.
Taylor said: "Hogan is a player I like and on my list - but nothing is happening at the moment. As far as I know, he is still playing and training with West Ham."
After the signings of defenders Jose Fonte - whose loan deal was completed yesterday - Jeff Hughes and Tony Craig, Taylor has made no secret of his desire to bring in an attacking player, particularly after the departure of Jobi McAnuff to Watford.
Taylor has been linked with a number of players, including Chelsea starlets Scott Sinclair and Ben Sahar, who signed for QPR last week, but wants to keep his options open.
He said: "There's a chance I can bring in one more player, but I'm still looking and talking."....." This is Local London
