Charlton completed the season long loan‎ signing of Manchester United midfield starlet, Dylan Levitt, on Wednesday.

Levitt could be the key to unlocking opposition sides who  just sit back and defend against the Addicks.

Nicky Butt rates him as the best passer of the ball at Old Trafford. Lee Bowyer reiterated the point when asked what his new addition’s best quality was:

“His passing, he doesn’t give the ball away, as a midfielder that is important. He keeps the ball at the right times and he has the vision to open up any defence. 

“I spoke to Nicky Butt at Manchester United, he said ‘he’s the best passer we have at the club’. If Nicky tells me that he can pass then I take his word for it.

“He’s another good addition to the squad, he’s a very good player. He’s got talent and he’s a Wales international. 

“It just makes it more competitive for the players if you’re bringing in international players,”  said Bowyer, who then highlighted the attraction of The Valley for big clubs looking to develop their youngsters:

‎”Looking at it from the outside, it must be a good attraction to send their players here. Krystian, Conor, Josh Cullen, then you’ve got players who have come through our academy that we’ve pushed on – Karlan (Grant), Joe Aribo, we’ve done really well with young players. 

“They all improve and go back better – Manchester United will be no different to any other club, that’s what they want from us. 

“The most important thing is we get him out on the training pitch and get him used to the players.

“We have to get a good balance of experience and the young lads. I have no doubt it will take him a little bit of time to settle in, like with Conor, we’ll have to be patient with him, with the experienced players we have – the Pratleys, the Peaceys – they’ll help the young lads.‎” Levitt is looking forward to playing regularly, and is targeting promotion this season:
“It feels amazing obviously. It’s a big club, even though we are in League One, it’s still a massive club, so it’s a pleasure to be here.

“I’ve spoken to Lee a few times now, he’s looking to be the best this season and get back into the Championship where Charlton belong.”

Director of Football, Steve Gallen, highlighted the problems the club currently have recruiting players due to the EFL’s embargo:

“We’re pleased to bring him in. Obviously there has been a bit of a gap since the last two signings – Conor (Washington) and Alex (Gilbey).

“We’d have liked to have brought someone in sooner but we’ve had some restrictions. We were hoping to do this a few weeks ago but because of the restrictions we had had to wait for one to leave but we’re pleased to get Dylan in.

“He’s very well respected at Manchester United and well respected by the Welsh squad.” ‎Levitt will wear the number 23 shirt and is likely to feature from the bench at Crewe on Saturday.
