Stoke have had scouts monitoring Joe Taylor's displays at Wigan. There is a growing belief Taylor will be allowed to leave Huddersfield again this summer, either on loan or permanently, which has alerted interested clubs. Stoke’s desire to sign a new forward has resulted in Taylor being a target for them.

Stoke City are among the latest teams to show interest in signing Huddersfield Town forward Joe Taylor, with Ipswich Town also showing recent interest in the player. Preston North End and Oxford United are also interested in an agreement with the Terriers for the striker, who is under contract until the summer of 2029.
