Igor Vetokele has joined Belgian club Zulte-Waregem on loan for the 2016/17 season.

The Belgian outfit have the option to make the deal permanent next summer.

Vetokele joined Charlton two years ago, and made a blistering start to his Valley career, scoring 8 goals in his first 13 Championship games.

The goals dried up, and the Angolan hit man was ravaged by injuries. Now 24-years-old, Vetokele made a total of 60 appearances in all competitions for the Addicks – 47 starts plus 13 as a substitute – scoring 13 goals.

Vetokele appeared to lose his edge after his long term Achilles and groin injuries. At his best, he was a potent threat in the Championship.

Another striker, Nicky Ajose, appears to be edging closer to a move to The Valley. The deal is expected to be completed in the early part of next week.

Ajose is likely to be joined by more new arrivals next week, as Russell Slade continues to build his squad for next season.
