Exclusive: Coventry City plotting transfer move for Charlton Athletic player | OneFootball

Amid an impressive stint on loan at Northampton Town, Terry Taylor is attracting some surprise interest

Coventry City are tracking Charlton Athletic midfielder Terry Taylor ahead of the transfer window re-opening this summer, sources have exclusively informed Football League World.

The Sky Blues do not currently know which division they will be plying their trade in come the 2025-26 season, with Frank Lampard's side still currently sat in the final Championship play-off spot.

Naturally, City's recruitment team will have to start planning for two different eventualities for potential signings, and one player who has come up on their radar is Taylor - even though he is not currently plying his trade week in, week out for the Addicks.

Coventry City interested in Charlton Athletic midfielder Terry Taylor

FLW has been told that Cov are keeping tabs on the aforementioned Taylor, who was sent out on loan by his contracted club Charlton to a League One rival in Northampton Town.

Having played just eight times in the third tier in the first half of the season under Nathan Jones, 23-year-old midfielder Taylor headed to Sixfields for the remainder of the campaign in January, and he's been a regular starter under Kevin Nolan at the base of his Cobblers midfield.

Taylor's performances for Northampton, who secured their League One status for next season on Easter Monday with a thumping of Shrewsbury Town, have not gone unnoticed, and it is not only Coventry who are eyeing up the former Wales youth international, with other unnamed outfits also eyeing up his services.

Despite starting a handful of matches for Charlton between October and December in League One, Taylor was sent out for more regular game-time by Nathan Jones, where he has helped to take points off some of the Addicks' promotion rivals.

Taylor still has over a year remaining on the three-year contract he signed in 2023 when arriving in London from Burton Albion, and he may still have a future at The Valley, based on what Jones recently said about the Northampton loanee.

"It’s been a very good move for Terry and I knew it would be,” Jones said.

“Terry’s a real good six in terms of how he plays and I know how Kev [Nolan] likes to play and I knew he’d get the best out of him.

"I advised him to go to Northampton because I felt that would be a good club for him with the other players they had there.

"I thought it would be a productive move and it has been productive. Terry’s a great lad and he’s a very good footballer.”
