2 players who will realistically sign for Plymouth Argyle in the coming weeks

Plymouth Argyle have been busy so far this summer following their promotion from League One under Steven Schumacher.

Plymouth Argyle are preparing for life back in the Championship and have signed the likes of Morgan Whittaker, Lewis Gibson, Kaine Kesler-Hayden, Conor Hazard and Julio Pleguezuelo.

They have the opportunity to further bolster their ranks over the next few weeks before the new season starts. Here is a look at two players who they could realistically sign…

Connor Taylor

Plymouth are being linked with a swoop for the Stoke City centre-back in this window, as reported by BristolLive. The 21-year-old, who used to play for England Schoolboys, faces a battle to nail down a regular starting spot in the Potters’ team under Alex Neil due to competition for places in their squad and they have a decision to make regarding his future at the bet365 Stadium.

He has been with the Staffordshire outfit since 2019 and has made 19 appearances for them in all competitions to date. The youngster has also gained experience out on loan at Ashton United, Chester and Bristol Rovers over recent years.

Terry Taylor

PlymouthLive reported late last month that the Pilgrims have been unable to agree a fee with Burton Albion for the highly-rated midfielder so far. However, they have been linked with the highly-rated Wales youth international for a while now and still have plenty of time left in the window to get their man.

He would add more competition and depth to Schumacher’s options in the middle of the park and has been a standout performer for the Brewers since joining them from Wolves in 2021. At the age of 22, he would also be a useful long-term addition if Plymouth can lure him to Home Park.

3 left-backs Plymouth Argyle should consider as injury blow highlights limited options

Plymouth Argyle boss Steven Schumacher confirmed that Saxon Earley will miss the start of the season after picking up a shoulder injury.

Earley’s injury should only keep him out of action for four weeks but it has highlighted that Plymouth Argyle need another option there.

Youngster Jack Endacott is available but a jump up to Championship could be a big ask for him at just 18. Brendan Galloway is another option but he mainly plays in a back three nowadays and his injury struggles don’t make for great reading. Mickel Miller has played as a wing-back before too, but he will be at his best further up the pitch.

Rather than settling for players who can just slot in, the Pilgrims would be wise to sign another left-sided ace. Here, we put forward three worth considering.

Florian Miguel – free agent

The Pilgrims have shown a willingness to dip into the free agent market for a European option after signing Julio Pleguezuelo earlier this summer and they could repeat that trick again with a move for Florian Miguel.

The 26-year-old has spent much of his career playing in France, gathering experience in their first and second tiers. Miguel left Spanish side SD Huesca earlier this summer and as an option at left-back, wing-back and centre-back, he could prove to be another shrewd free transfer addition.

Max Lowe – Sheffield United

Perhaps a little bit punchy but Lowe is definitely one worth looking into. Sheffield United have just signed Yasser Larouci as another option on the left and with Rhys Norrington-Davies, Jack Robinson and Ben Osborn all able to play there, Lowe could be pushed down the pecking order.

A loan move could be ideal for Lowe and a move to Home Park would likely give him plenty of starting football.

Bali Mumba – Norwich City

After bringing back Morgan Whittaker, why not try to reunite with another of last season’s loan stars. Mumba would almost certainly have to be a temporary addition but if he isn’t going to play regular for Norwich, another temporary stint away from Carrow Road could be on the cards and the Championship would be ideal.

He knows the role and Schumacher’s demands so if there is a chance of a reunion, Plymouth must take it.
