The season has gotten off to a rough start for Charlton Athletic, but it is hoped that Michael Appleton, their new manager, can help them turn things around.
After a disappointing start to the season, Dean Holden was unexpectedly let go by Charlton Athletic. Former Lincoln City and Blackpool manager Appleton has since taken over after the club’s first victory since the season’s start.

After a disappointing start to the season, Dean Holden was unexpectedly let go by Charlton Athletic. Former Lincoln City and Blackpool manager Appleton has since taken over after the club’s first victory since the season’s start.
He’s come on leaps and bounds since his time at Sunderland and the longer he goes without penning a new contract, the higher the chances are of him being tempted away. The midfielder is a crucial figure at The Valley and keeping him should be viewed as an absolute priority.
Corey Blackett-Taylor
Blackett-Taylor had summer interest from Derby County so with his contract up in 2024, he’s another the Addicks should be looking to tie down. Even if he’s someone they would be willing to sell at the right price, agreeing an extension to his contract would increase their chances of getting a decent fee for him.
The winger has three assists in six League One games this season and has been with the club for two years.
Daniel Kanu
There are a handful of academy graduates who the Addicks should be looking to tie down. The likes of Richard Chin and Lucas Ness could be valuable assets going forward too but of those out of contract next year, striker Kanu is definitely the headline name.
Last season, he was outstanding for the club’s younger teams, and this year, he’s making the most of his increased first-team opportunities. In his six games this season, the 18-year-old has three goals and an assist, and if there is any further contract uncertainty, Kanu will begin to attract interest from other sources.
