Charlton Athletic is reportedly considering a move for Newport County midfielder Shane McLoughlin in the upcoming January transfer window, as per Football Insider. Here are three other midfielders that the club could contemplate signing:
1. **Eli King (Morecambe):**
– Cardiff City allowed the 20-year-old Wales youth international to join Morecambe over the summer, where he has impressed. King is reportedly drawing interest from other clubs, having made 20 appearances with two goals and three assists for Morecambe in various competitions.
2. **Liam Walsh (Swansea City):**
– The 26-year-old midfielder at Swansea City in the Championship is not guaranteed a starting spot. A product of Everton’s youth system, Walsh would bring experience and could benefit from regular playing time at Charlton. He was loaned out to Hull City last year and played for Bristol City from 2018 to 2021.
3. **Matty Virtue (Blackpool):**
– A former Chelsea and Liverpool youngster, Virtue is reportedly not getting much game time at Blackpool. The midfielder was on Wrexham’s radar earlier in the year, and although he stayed at Bloomfield Road, his future remains uncertain. Charlton could potentially secure his services, providing depth and competition in the midfield.
These midfield options could offer Charlton Athletic versatility, experience, and potential for the upcoming League One season, contributing to the team’s strength and performance in the second half of the season.
