Sheffield Wednesday will hope for Luton Town repeat as League One deal nears

Bailey Cadamarteri looks to be closing in on a loan move to Lincoln City from Sheffield Wednesday before the transfer window comes to a close.

That’s according to the latest report from The Star, which suggests that the Imps are leading the race for the talented young frontman, after plenty of EFL interest earlier in the summer.

The likes of Huddersfield Town, Wrexham, Blackpool and Stockport County were all said to have kept tabs on the 19-year-old over the past few months, but Michael Skubala’s side are now said to be front-runners for his signature.

Recent history suggest Sincil Bank could be the perfect place for the Owls prospect to further his career, with another loanee striker able to shine after making the move north east in the previous campaign.

Joe Taylor fires Lincoln City into playoff contention

Joe Taylor’s stock was already high before making the move into League One last season, but after finishing the campaign in the third tier, the frontman was regarded as one of the hottest prospects in the division.

The former Peterborough United man was originally sent on loan from Luton Town to Colchester United to start the campaign, where he netted 11 times in 25 appearances for the U’s in League Two.

The striker’s crafty movement in the final third and tenacity to get on the end of any through ball saw him stand head and shoulders above the rest at that level, so it was no surprise when he was shifted into the division above when January came along.

And Taylor continued where he left off once he made the move to Sincil Bank, with another 10 goals in 19 games for the Imps seeing them end the campaign as one of the country’s most in-form teams.

After taking some time to get to grips with his new surroundings, the forward lived up to his reputation by netting eight times in seven appearances throughout February and March, including a barnstorming hat-trick in a 5-0 rout of Bristol Rovers.

The ex-Barnet man seemingly couldn’t miss once he was put through by his teammates, as he played a massive part in putting the Imps into playoff contention, before they agonisingly fell short in the final few weeks of the season.
