Sunderland are said to be interested in bringing in the pair this summer, as Jack Ross looks for additions.
Sunderland have been linked with swoops for both Jack Baldwin and Lyle Taylor in the past 24 hours, but both signings would be rather underwhelming.
Sky Sports claim that Sunderland are keen on Baldwin, while Football.London claims that Taylor is on their radar.
The Black Cats are known to be looking for new additions to help the mount a promotion push, but there must be doubts over both Baldwin’s and Taylor’s ability to play for potential league winners.
Baldwin wasn’t a permanent starter for Peterborough United last term, and when he did play he was guilty of making errors on regular occasions.
Baldwin has the potential to play at a much higher level than League One, due to his ability in possession, but his error-prone displays means that he would be a risky addition at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland are under significant pressure to earn promotion next term, and Baldwin is unlikely to be offered the same kind of patience as he was at Posh.
Taylor, meanwhile, is a proven striker at League One level, but he has never been particularly prolific.
The AFC Wimbledon front man has only netted 29 goals in 156 appearances in the third tier over the course of his career, and neither of the potential additions scream of ambition.
