Charlton Athletic: Experienced Star’s Interest May Lead To Premier League Move For Addicks Player View
Nathan Jones’ effect at Charlton Athletic shows potential for a promotion drive in 2024/25 following strong performances.
The prospective arrival of Matty Godden might strengthen the Addicks’ forward line and perhaps open up room for Miles Leaburn to go.
Selling Leaburn might help Charlton earn a profit and bolster their team, particularly on defense, ahead of promotion attempts.
Charlton Athletic ended the 2023/24 League One season in 16th place, nine points above the relegation zone but 23 points below the play-offs.
However, Nathan Jones’ hiring in February underlines the club’s ambition, considering his impressive record with Luton Town, whom he steered from League Two to League One in 2018, before leading the Hatters to the Championship play-offs in 2022.
Jones has already had a significant effect in the Valley, losing only twice in 16 games in the dugout with the Addicks.
With this type of record, the Addicks may be optimistic of a promotion push in 2024/25, but the team will need a good summer transfer window to compete for a spot in the Championship.
In addition to acquiring new players, the London club may be seeking to profit on some of its assets in a roster stacked with local talent.
According to the South London Press and Mercury, the Addicks are interested in signing Coventry City’s Matty Godden, who scored six Championship goals in 35 appearances and 23 starts during the 2023/24 season.
Meanwhile, the Mail Online reported that Premier League clubs Chelsea and Brentford were interested in current Charlton sensation Miles Leaburn ahead of the January transfer window, and that they may sign the 20-year-old again in the summer.
Godden’s entrance might open the door to Leaburn’s exit.
