Charlton Athletic are in talks to sign former West Ham United striker Michail Antonio.

The Addicks have one spot left available to fill in their 25-man squad. They submitted 24 players to the EFL.

Antonio is a free agent and so can be added to their ranks outside of the transfer window.

His arrival would give Charlton five frontmen to choose from with Lyndon Dykes, Miles Leaburn, Charlie Kelman and Matty Godden all on their books.

Antonio’s deal would run until the summer. Godden and Dykes are also set to be out of contract at the end of June - the club hold an option to extend by a further 12 months on the former.
