Three summer targets that Charlton Athletic should re-engage with in January, including a member of Cardiff City
After choosing to break ways with Dean Holden, Charlton Athletic has chosen Michael Appleton to serve as their next manager.
After a sluggish start to the season, Charlton Athletic will be eager to start moving up the League One standings. Their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw at Stevenage, with Corey Blackett-Taylor netting a late equalizer.
The Addicks’ first game under their new management at home will be this weekend’s match at The Valley against Wycombe Wanderers.
Here are three summer targets that QPR should make a run for in the January transfer window while we wait.
Rubin Colwill
Charlton were linked with the Cardiff City man at the end of August along with fellow third tier sides Reading and Bolton Wanderers, as per Football Insider. He has recently penned a new deal with the Bluebirds in the Championship.
However, he isn’t guaranteed regular football with the Welsh outfit at this moment in time which could open the door for a potential loan move this winter. Colwill would be ideal for Appleton’s side and would inject more quality into their ranks.
Ryan Tunnicliffe
He cut ties with Portsmouth at the end of last term and is currently available as a free agent. His contract at Fratton Park expired and he wasn’t offered fresh terms amid links to Charlton, via the Daily Mail.
Tunnicliffe, 30, has bags of experience in the Football League and has racked up over 350 appearances to date. He would provide more competition and depth in midfield and has played for the likes of Manchester United, Fulham, Luton Town and Millwall in the past.
Danny Douglas
Reporter Alan Nixon claimed on his Patreon that the Addicks were looking at the Australian youngster on trial. He currently plays for A-League team Perth Glory.
It is important the club plan for the future as well and the 19-year-old could be a useful long-term option. The prospect had a trial at West Brom back in 2019, as per FTBL.
