Vincent Kompany highlights new found quality Charlie Taylor would bring in Leeds United return

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has already told Leeds United and Daniel Farke exactly what Charlie Taylor would bring to the club if he were to return this summer. The left-back, who cam through the academy set-up at Elland Road, made over 100 appearances for his boyhood club before joining the Clarets in the summer of 2017.

Taylor was a mainstay for Sean Dyche during his time at Turf Moor, making the left-back slot his own. The 29-year-old is approaching 200 appearances for Burnley, but has been linked with a return to Leeds this summer as they look to replace Junior Firpo who is set for a departure.

However, Taylor had been converted to a centre-back role under Belgian boss Kompany, with his versatility praised by his head coach. Burnley would romp to the Championship title with the former Whites defender making 41 appearances in all competitions.
