Charlie Taylor - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs with Southampton Taylor signed with Southampton, following the conclusion of his contract with Burnley.

Impact Taylor makes the switch to Southampton after the conclusion of his time with Burnley. The wing-back is a solid defensive option and showed some nice moments with Burnley, and he did enough to stay in the Premier League with recently promoted Southampton.

JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Another solid campaign with Burnley Taylor scored one goal, recorded one assist and kept two clean sheets in 28 appearances (25 starts) this past season.

Impact Taylor put together another solid season with Burnley, highlighted by his first career Premier League goal, a strike against Bournemouth in October. He put up solid defensive numbers too, recording 35 tackles, 19 interceptions, 67 clearances and 11 blocked shots. The 30-year-old's contract expires at the end of June, although Burnley announced the club offered him an extension in May.

JUNE 12 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers three crosses Taylor had one shot off target and attempted three crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Everton.

Impact Taylor attempted more crosses than any of his teammates and he now ranks joint first for crosses for Burnley over the season with 63. Despite regularly getting the ball into the box, he has only created 11 chances and has only one assist.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Attempts 10 crosses Taylor had 10 crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 1-1 draw versus Wolverhampton.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Taylor has been Burnley's primary left-back since his return from a shoulder injury. He has been active on the flank, with at least six crosses in three of his last five starts. However, Taylor could definitely use some improvement accuracy-wise, considering only 16 percent of his crosses were on point during that five-game span.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Back after four matches Taylor (shoulder) is available as a substitute during Saturday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Taylor returns after missing Burnley's last four matches with the injury. The fullback has started all 16 of his Premier League appearances, but settles for a role on the bench to start Saturday's match.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

In contention Saturday Taylor (shoulder) -- who did not return versus Liverpool on Saturday -- is expected to be back in the squad for Saturday's clash with Arsenal, Matt Scrafton of the Burnley Express...

Impact Taylor was reportedly close to rejoining the squad against Liverpool but ultimately was held out for one more week. Before his four-match absence, the left-back had started all 16 of his Premier League appearances for the club and should be back in the starting XI after three different players filled that role in his stead.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Could return against Liverpool Taylor (shoulder) appears to possibly be an option for Saturday's match against Liverpool, as manager Vincent Kompany declared, "I'm quite positive on Delcroix and Taylor, we'll se...

Impact Taylor looks to be in place for a return against Liverpool, marking the possible end of a three-game absence due to a shoulder issue. This could be a nice addition back into the squad for Burnley, as he has been a regular starter when healthy this season, starting in every match he has been available for. If he does get on the team sheet Saturday, expect him to take back his role in the starting XI at left-back, taking the spot back from Lorenz Assignon and sending Vitinho back to right-back.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Out against City Taylor (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's contest against Manchester City.

Impact Taylor is missing his second match in a row Wednesday, having yet to recover from a shoulder injury he picked up in an FA Cup contest. The club will hope for his return in the coming days, possibly against Fulham on Saturday, as he is an important player, with the defender starting in every contest he has been available for.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Availability in doubt Taylor (shoulder) remains a doubt against Manchester City on Wednesday after manager Vincent Kompany told reporters, "There will be some positive news in there, the list can't be l...

Impact Taylor has missed just one Premier League match due to his shoulder problem, thanks to a lighter schedule and the club being bounced from the FA Cup. Ameen Al-Dakhil featured in the starting XI with Taylor unavailable versus Luton Town last time out and could do so again in Wednesday's clash if needed.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Out Friday Taylor (shoulder) is out for Friday's match against Luton Town.

Impact Taylor is missing Friday's match after going down with a shoulder issue in the days leading up to the game, missing only his second match since his three-match absence to start the season. The defender will most likely return to the team sheet for the club's next contest against Manchester City on Jan. 31, as he will have two weeks to recover. If he is available by then, expect him to start, as he has started in every match he has been an option for.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with ongoing injury Taylor (shoulder) will be in doubt for Friday's match against Luton Town, said manager Vincent Kompany per the Burnley Express.

Impact Taylor is in line for a fitness test ahead of Friday's clash as he continues to deal with an ongoing shoulder injury. It should not be a surprise if the defender does sit out as he has been averaging 90 minutes of play thus far, starting all 16 matches while logging in 45 clearances on the campaign. If Jordan Beyer does pass fitness, then Hannes Delcroix could see the start at left back if Taylor needs to remain out.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off in FA Cup Taylor (undisclosed) was forced off in the second half of Friday's 1-0 FA Cup loss to Tottenham with an injury.

Impact Taylor left the match in the 67th minute succumbing to an injury and being replaced by Ameen Al-Dakhil. Manager Vincent Kompany noted "we'll see, I hope it's not bad news" and that the injury to his left-back seemed "more chronic than acute" when asked about Taylor's injury.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Available after suspension Taylor is available for Saturday's match against Fulham after serving his suspension against Everton on Saturday due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact Taylor will be returning to play for Burnley, having served his one-match ban against Everton after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Brighton. The defender had not missed a start since the second match of the season until his suspension, so he should return to the starting XI against Fulham, most likely sending Hannes Delcroix back to the bench.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up suspension Taylor will not be an option Saturday against Everton, picking up a suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against Brighton.

Impact Taylor will be missing his first match since the start of September, receiving a one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation. The defender's absence will affect the squad, with him not missing a start in 13 straight contests. Expect Connor Roberts to get the start at left-back with Taylor out.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in victory Taylor registered an assist and sent in two crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 5-0 win against Sheffield United.

Impact Taylor picked up his first assist of the season when his cross was headed in by Jay Rodriguez. He has one goal so far this season and looks the most likely of Burnley's defenders to pick up attacking returns.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

First strike of season in loss Taylor placed two shots, scoring with his single on-target effort, and executed two crosses (none accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 loss to AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a y...

Impact Taylor did not score many fantasy points in his core defensive duties on Saturday but he did score Burnley's only goal, a beautifully taken strike from the edge of the box that originated from a corner set piece. From seven starts this was his first goal and he is yet to contribute to a clean sheet.

Assists thrice in relegation campaign Taylor had three assists and 104 crosses in 31 league appearances (30 starts) this past season.

Impact Taylor has been the regular at left-back for Burnley the last four seasons and outside of one month-long foot issue, he continued in that role. There's a chance he moves elsewhere this summer, but if he stays at Burnley, he'll remain in that left-back role where he should have quite a bit of success in the Championship.

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Assist to end month Taylor logged one assist during a 2-1 win Saturday at Watford.

Impact Jack Cork logged a header goal from an accurate Taylor cross. Surprisingly, the latter recorded one assist during Burnley's first and last English Premier League games across April. Taylor had not logged multiple EPL assists from August 2021 to March 2022.

MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Assists Wednesday Taylor provided one assist on five crosses and one chance created during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Everton.

Impact Taylor provided an assist on five crosses, though all five of the crosses were relatively poor, and off-target. The wing-back has largely been wasteful of late, even when given a plethora of opportunities, that said the woeful Everton defense is proving to be a cure-all for all out-of-form players. Taylor will have another favorable clash with Norwich up next.

APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Busy on both sides Taylor sent in four inaccurate crosses and made three tackles during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brentford

Impact Taylor fell victim to yet another poor Burnley showing, yet he was one of the few busy players on the pitch. The left-back was involved in the play on both sides of the ball and continuously pressured the Brentford midfield. Taylor will be a fringe fantasy play against Southampton on Saturday.

MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hopeful to return at Palace Taylor (foot) is hopeful to return to the squad for Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Charlie is back training, it's a strange foot injury but it...

Impact It's been a month of iffy updates from Dyche, but it appears Taylor is getting better and at least training. However, given Burnley's recent run of form, there's a chance Erik Pieters stays in the starting XI, something that should be made known in Taylor's first match back.

FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains a doubt Taylor (foot) remains a doubt for Saturday's trip to Brighton, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Taylor has been close to return for the last four matches, according to Dyche, but nothing has really changed. It's some kind of foot injury that's not allowing him to be ready. Either way, there's a chance Erik Pieters holds onto the left-back position upon Taylor's return, though Taylor has held the leg up in recent years.

FEBRUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

In doubt against Liverpool Taylor (foot) is questionable heading into Sunday's matchup with Liverpool. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Charlie Taylor we still need to be careful with."

Impact Taylor has missed three straight contests due to his foot problem and remains in doubt in the leadup to Sunday's tilt. In his previous five outings, the left-back has generated 14 crosses (four accurate), 18 clearances and two shots (zero on target). Given his ability to push the attack from the backline, Taylor should be capable of offering top-half fantasy value once restored to the starting XI.

FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Tuesday Taylor (foot) will miss Tuesday's clash with Manchester United. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Charlie will probably miss this one but he's getting back."

Impact Based on the manager's comments, Taylor could be ready in time to play versus Liverpool on Sunday. Whenever the left-back gets back onto the pitch, he figures to be a near-lock for the starting XI and should offer solid fantasy value. In his last five contests, Taylor registered 14 crosses (four accurate), 18 clearances and two shots (zero on target).
