A huge young talent from League One has caught the attention of CHELSEA.
The Daily Mail claims that the 6′ 6″ Charlton sensation Miles Leaburn is a target for Premier League giants.
Leaburn has been making an impact for the Addicks, scoring six goals in just ten games this year.
At barely 19 years old, he possesses the height (6 feet 6 inches) and other traits necessary to succeed at the highest level.
Furthermore, it runs in his family being the son of legendary Charlton player Carl Leaburn, who played over 300 games for the team from 1987 to 1998.
His talents are well known to Chelsea, as he progressed through their youth divisions prior to joining Charlton in 2019.
However, other teams have also been keeping an eye on the center-forward.
Brentford is known for being observant and for finding hidden gems in the transfer market.
Although it was reported that Aston Villa was attempting to negotiate a contract with the EFL club last season, they received a resounding no.
A German Bundesliga team reportedly made an offer this summer worth more than £3 million, but it was also turned down.
Charlton may have a future star on their hands, but they are under no need to let go of the player who has been instrumental in their success thus far this season.
Leaburn’s contract with The Valley expires in June 2025, giving him two more years left on it.
