Nathan Jones has talked to South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition about the summer transfer window - and his comments tell us about two positions in his squad that will be a priority to strengthen.

The Addicks have three matches remaining in their Championship campaign and have a six-point cushion over the relegation zone.

There are a number of big calls that Jones will need to make once he knows for sure if they have consolidated their place in England’s second tier.

The Addicks were very active after winning promotion from League One as they paid fees for the likes of Thomas Kaminski, Joe Rankin-Costello, Rob Apter and Isaac Olaofe. They also brought in Amari’i Bell and Sonny Carey on free transfers.

I might have missed someone, but I made it 18 incoming deals - either permanent, loan or short-term - for Charlton over the course of this campaign.

And Jones dropped more than a clue about a couple of areas that will be addressed when it comes to squad building.

South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition had asked the Welshman if he felt there would be the same level of incomings in this summer’s transfer window as we saw in the trading period after seeing off Leyton Orient at Wembley.
