Nottingham Forest transfer 'target' rejects offer of new contract - report

Charlton Athletic striker Lyle Taylor is up for sale after rejecting a new deal from the new owners at The Valley.

According to the South London Press and Mercury , East Street Investments - who took over Charlton last week - have withdrawn an offer of a new contract to the 29-year-old striker.

Taylor is said to have been offered a new and improved three-and-a-half year deal that included a loyalty bonus and signing-on fee plus the option of an extra year.

But the deadline has passed for Taylor, who is out of contract at the end of the season , to accept and the offer has now been withdrawn.

Lee Bowyer's side haven't placed Taylor on the transfer list but this month's window represents the club's final chance to get a fee for the former Millwall and AFC Wimbledon forward.

Taylor was linked with a move to Forest last month, with Championship rivals Brentford and Bristol City.

Premier League sides Burnley, Sheffield United and Norwich City have also been touted as a possible destination for Taylor.

The six-cap Montserrat international has scored 32 goals in 58 games for Charlton, joining the club from Wimbledon in June 2018.
