A report claims that Burnley want to bring Leeds United defender Charlie Taylor to Turf Moor this summer.

Burnley are reportedly at the head of the queue to sign Leeds United defender Charlie Taylor this summer.

The 22-year-old came through the youth system at Leeds and has made 72 appearances for the Yorkshire club since making his first-team debut in 2011.

West Bromwich Albion have been linked with a move for the former England Under-19 international, but according to The Mirror, Burnley currently lead the race as they prepare for the new Premier League season.

Taylor, who can also operate in a wide midfield role, has previously spent time out on loan with Bradford City, York City, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Fleetwood Town.
