Charlton have agreed a deal to bring French Under-21 international central defender, Mouhamadou-Naby Sarr, to The Valley on loan.

Sarr moved to Sporting Club Portugal from Lyon in the summer. The Marseille born 21-year-old has made just four appearances for Sporting and last appeared for them in November.

He cost Sporting a million Euros and signed a six-year deal. He has a release clause in his contract that will be triggered if a bid in excess of 45 million Euros is made!

The formalities should be completed in time for Sarr to be available for the crunch game with Rotherham on Saturday.

Jason Euell’s Under-21 team held on for a 3-2 win at Bristol City on Monday afternoon.

The Addicks raced into a three goal lead before the half-hour mark, thanks to goals from Zak Ansah (2) and Mikhail Kennedy but the Robins fought back strongly.

Connor Lemonheigh-Evans converted a penalty five minutes before the interval, after he had been fouled Terell Thomas.

Lemonheigh-Evans scored his second when he volleyed home from the edge of the box a minute from time to set up a nervy finale for Charlton, but Euell’s team saw the game out to win 3-2.

Charlton: Mitov; Pyke, T Thomas, Lennon, Edwards; Muldoon, Munns, G Kennedy, M Kennedy; Ahearne-Grant, Ansah.

Subs: C Thomas, Konsa, Charles-Cook, Browne, Dago.
