Charlton are being linked with Congolese midfielder, Distel Zola.
Zola started his professional career at Monaco but did not make a first team appearance. During his time at Monaco, Zola did make 27 appearances on loan for Laval, scoring one goal.
The defensive midfielder then moved on to Nancy, where he made a solitary appearance, before joining second tier outfit, Le Havre.
Zola has made 86 appearances for Le Havre, scoring twice.
The 25-year-old had a fine 2013/14 campaign, which has ignited the interested of several clubs across Europe.
French club Metz and Belgian side RC Genk, are amongst the teams interested in signing Zola, with Genk thought to be in pole position for his signature.
Zola made 32 appearances for France at Under-16, 17, 18 and 19 level, but opted to represent Congo on the full international stage,and has won two caps so far.
The deal is very much in the possible – rather than probable – category, but there is plenty going on behind the scenes at The Valley to recruit players for next season.
