The Scottish press are reporting that Hearts striker, Conor Washington, is close to signing‎ a two-year deal with Charlton. The deal could even be concluded later today.

Chatham born Washingto‎n is a Northern Ireland international,who came through the Newport County academy. 

He moved to Peterborough in January 2014 and  scored 27 league goals for Posh in 64 starts plus 18 substitute appearances.

‎His form at London Road led to a £2,500,00 move to QPR in January 2016. He spent two-and-a-half years at Loftus Road, scoring 13 goals from 58 starts plus 24 sub appearances.

He was part of Sheffield United’s 2018/19 promotion squad, but failed to score in his 3 starts plus 12 sub appearances.

He moved to Hearts last summer but has had an injury ravaged campaign at Tynecastle, scoring just 3 goals in his 15 appearances, 8 of them as a sub.
Washington will be keen to impress with the European Championship coming up next summer.

If he can find his best form and maintain fitness, he would be a useful addition to Lee Bowyer’s front line.

Jonny Williams has joined fellow midfielder, Jake Forster-Caskey, in taking up the option of a one year contract extension.
