🚨 TRANSFER NEWS: Charlton Athletic Make Tottenham Starlet Defender Their Top Summer Target

London – June 9, 2025

Charlton Athletic have identified Tottenham Hotspur youth defender Jayden Malik as their primary summer transfer target, sources close to the club have revealed.

The 19-year-old centre-back, who impressed in Spurs’ U21 side throughout the 2024/25 season, is being closely monitored by Charlton boss Nathan Jones, who is keen to bolster his backline ahead of a potential promotion push next season.

🗣️ A club insider said: “Jayden Malik is the kind of player we want to build around — young, composed on the ball, and hungry to prove himself at senior level.”

Malik, known for his strong aerial presence and calm distribution under pressure, has also drawn interest from clubs in the Championship and abroad, but Charlton are believed to be leading the race due to the promise of regular first-team football.

Sources suggest Charlton are weighing up a season-long loan with an option to buy, though a permanent deal could also be on the cards if Spurs are open to parting ways with the talented defender.

The Addicks are expected to open formal talks with Tottenham later this week.
