Charlton Athletic’s young striker, Miles Leaburn, who has been attracting attention from clubs like Chelsea and Brentford due to his impressive performance at The Valley, is likely to postpone any potential transfer until the next summer. Despite a notable season with seven goals and three assists in 18 games, Leaburn’s progress has been halted by a hamstring injury requiring surgery, sidelining him until late in the current campaign.
Reporter Darren Witcoop reveals that the injury has temporarily halted any plans for a winter transfer for the promising Addicks star. Clubs like Brentford had been considering a January deal, but now it appears that Leaburn will have to wait until the summer for any significant move away from Charlton Athletic and a potential ascent up the football leagues.
The setback puts Leaburn’s move on hold, as the injury sidelines him, making an immediate impact at a new club unlikely. Charlton Athletic, holding Leaburn under contract until 2025, will be seeking a substantial fee for the talented striker.

Despite the delay, Leaburn, who just turned 20, has already demonstrated his ability in the senior game with 20 goals and six assists in 58 appearances for Charlton Athletic’s first team. Standing at an imposing 196cm tall, he remains a potent option at the top of the pitch, and a move to higher divisions seems inevitable in the future.
