Clarets linked with Oldham's Taylor

Last updated : 14 December 2008 By Tony Scholes

Sheffield United are believed to be leading the way for the 21-year-old Taylor who it is suggested would command a fee of around £1 million.

He was the subject of a bid in the summer that the Latics turned down and he's been in sparkling form this season with seven league goals that have helped Oldham into their current place in the top six in League One.

Given our current financial position, one that wouldn't allow Owen Coyle to bring in a loan player last month, this one looks very unlikely, but it would be no surprise to see Taylor playing Championship football come January.
