In light of Huddersfield Town’s interest in Alfie May, the manager of Charlton Athletic weighs in.
This summer, Huddersfield Town has already had a significant bid for Charlton Athletic forward Alfie May rejected.
The manager of Charlton Athletic, Nathan Jones, says the team is “not under any pressure to sell to another rival” despite rumors that top goal scorer in League One last year, Alfie May, may be heading to Huddersfield Town.
The Addicks rejected a proposal from the Terriers for the striker, as the South London Press reported earlier this month. Since then, the team has said that Town “have continued their attempts to strike a deal.”
May moved from Cheltenham Town last summer, where he scored 48 goals in two seasons, to Charlton, where he scored 27 goals in 50 appearances in all competitions last season.
Under Michael Duff’s leadership, the forward was signed by the Robins in January 2020. The two-and-a-half-season partnership lasted until the now-Terriers manager left to join Barnsley.
In response to rumors that the Terriers are interested in May, Jones has stated that the Addicks do not need to sell the striker and that the manager would always operate in the “best interests” of the team.
It’s really challenging with Alfie. Jones told the South London Press, “He is our player, and we love Alfie here. He scores goals for us and is a fan favorite.”
“I want more from this than simply Alfie. When making judgments regarding any player, we must consider what is best for the team. That’s what will happen if it’s best for this football team to keep Alfie.
“We need to have individuals on the team who can improve this football team tremendously in the event that Alfie May leaves for whatever reason.
