Charlton Athletic are not set to be short on striker numbers next season - especially if one, or both, of their out-of-contract frontmen sign new deals.
Matty Godden and Lyndon Dykes are due to be free agents at the end of June.
Godden, who topped the club’s scoring charts last season as they won promotion from League One, scored his first goal of an injury-disrupted campaign in the 1-1 draw at Watford on Monday.
The Addicks have Charlie Kelman, Miles Leaburn, Isaac Olaofe, Daniel Kanu and Micah Mbick under contract.
Kanu, 21, has been shortlisted for League Two’s Young Player of the Season award after 18 goals on loan at Walsall. Mbick earned England U20 recognition after a temporary move to Colchester United, his season ended prematurely after suffering knee ligament damage.
Gassan Ahadme, who has not featured on loan at Stevenage since December 2, still has two years left to run on the deal he signed after arriving from Ipswich Town in July 2024.
Tyreece Campbell is also able to play through the middle for the SE7 outfit.
So how many does Jones want in that forward department? It looks like he will have quite a quota at his disposal?
