Wimbledon Striker Linked With Town and Burton - Ipswich Town News

AFC Wimbledon frontman Lyle Taylor is reported to be a summer target of the Blues and Burton Albion.

According to the Daily Mirror, Town and the Brewers will target the 27-year-old when he comes out of contract at the end of the season.

Taylor started his professional career with Millwall but moved on before making a senior appearance for the Lions, having spent time on loan with Eastbourne and Croydon Athletic.

After a spell with Concord Rangers, the Londoner, who has won three caps for Monserrat, scoring three goals, joined Bournemouth in 2010.

In addition to his first league appearances, Taylor also had stints on loan with Lewes, Hereford United and Woking while a Cherries player.

In 2012 he moved on to Falkirk, then a year later joined Sheffield United before a loan spell with Partick Thistle.

Scunthorpe was his next destination before another loan at Partick Thistle and then a permanent switch to Wimbledon in July 2015.

While with the Dons, who he helped to win the League Two play-offs in 2015/16 when he netted in the final, Taylor has scored 53 goals in 125 starts and 17 sub appearances with 16 of those goals this season.

With the identity of next season’s Town manager still to be confirmed, any speculation regarding summer targets should be taken with a pinch of salt.
