Kenneth Taylor

Kenneth Taylor is a Dutch central midfielder born in Alkmaar on 16 May 2002. He developed with De Foresters before joining Ajax’s youth academy in 2010, progressing through De Toekomst. Taylor made his professional debut for Jong Ajax against Jong PSV in October 2018 and debuted for Ajax’s first team as a substitute against PEC Zwolle in December 2020. After Ryan Gravenberch’s departure in 2022, he assumed a larger midfield role. At Ajax, Taylor combined deep distribution with forward runs and later operated in a more advanced role, contributing goals while linking defence and attack. He represented the Netherlands at youth level, won the 2019 European Under-17 Championship, made his senior debut in 2022 and was included in that year’s World Cup squad. In January 2026, Taylor moved from Ajax to Lazio, beginning a new chapter in Serie A.
