The former England youth international swapped Elland Road for Turf Moor in 2017 and became a key figure for the Clarets in the Premier League.
While opportunities may have been limited for Taylor at Southampton, he would arguably be a coup for most Championship clubs.
He was even linked with a return to Leeds in the summer of 2023, following his former club’s relegation to the Championship.
Taylor instead remained with Burnley, suffering relegation himself at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.
