AFC Wimbledon working on permanent deal for Charlton striker
AFC Wimbledon are working on a permanent deal for Charlton Athletic striker Josh Davison.
Our website revealed at the weekend that the Addicks has rejected bids for the 22-year-old, who had a successful loan spell at Swindon Town last season.
And the South London Press understands that Davison looks likely to be reunited with Johnnie Jackson, who managed him at The Valley, at Wimbledon.
The industrious attacker scored nine goals in 21 matches on loan at Swindon Town in the second half of the previous campaign.
Wimbledon have boosted their attacking options with the temporary signing of Kyle Hudlin.
Charlton have Jayden Stockley, Chuks Aneke and emerging talent Miles Leaburn as frontline options along with Davison, who is inside the final 12 months of his Charlton terms.
“Josh is really adaptable and versatile,” said Addicks manager Ben Garner after last week’s friendly win at Colchester United.
“He’s got a fantastic attitude. We know what he can do as a nine, he played there for me last season. We’ve had a look at him down the left side and, tonight, the right side. We’re just looking at different options. What you know with Josh is he’s got fantastic endeavour and will give absolutely everything, every game – and the lads love him for that.”
