Richard Cawley has suggested that Lyle Taylor should be set to stay with Charlton Athletic until the end of the season.

What did he say?

There has been plenty of talk about the Montserrat international’s future during the winter transfer window, with his current contract coming to an end in the summer of 2020.

Clubs who have held an interest in the 29-year-old includes Rangers, West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City, as reported by Sky Sports before the window opened.

However, it has been suggested by Cawley that the striker currently seems set to stay at the Valley for the rest of the campaign, as Bristol City, another of his admirers, have moved their attention towards Nahki Wells.

A massive boost

This will be seen as a massive boost for Charlton as they bid to maintain their place in the Championship past the current campaign.

The 29-year-old has missed 15 league games through injury this term but has definitely shown his worth for Lee Bowyer’s side when getting onto the pitch.

From his nine starts and four substitute appearances, Taylor has already managed seven goals and one assist.

To contextualise how important his contributions can prove to be, the Montserrat international has directly contributed to over 21% of the Addicks’ league goals, despite missing more games this season than he has played in.

There are other players in the team capable of scoring, such as Macauley Bonne and Naby Sarr, who have eight and three respectively.

However, there is nobody who gets near Taylor’s prolificacy, as he averages a strike every 126 minutes, with Bonne’s rate of a strike every 186 minutes coming the closest.

When that is considered, it becomes apparent just how important it is for the Addicks to keep hold of Taylor.

Meanwhile, one moment could prove to be monumental for Charlton’s attacker.
