Burnley are currently leading the race to sign Leeds United defender Charlie Taylor, according to the Mirror.
The report says that Burnley are currently ahead of the pack in the race for Taylor, who is valued at £6m by Leeds.
West Ham, West Brom and Middlesbrough are also thought to be very interested in the left-back, but it appears as though Burnley could pip them all to the signing.
Taylor has rejected a new contract at Leeds United, with the young defender having the ambition to play Premier League football this season.
The 22-year-old is thought to be interested in a move to Burnley, possibly due to the amount of game-time he would be guaranteed if he were to sign for the newly promoted side.
This will come as a blow to West Ham, who are in desperate need of a left-back following Aaron Creswell’s injury that has ruled him out of action for up to four months.
