Three potential replacements Charlton Athletic could consider this summer amidst rumors of Terell Thomas’ departure include:
- Ed Turns: At just 21 years old, Ed Turns, currently with Brighton and Hove Albion, presents significant promise and could serve as a valuable long-term asset for Charlton if they manage to secure his signature. Despite limited opportunities in Brighton’s first team, Turns has showcased his abilities during loan spells at clubs like Crewe Alexandra and Leyton Orient, demonstrating his potential to make an impact at a higher level.
- Andy Smith: Andy Smith, currently on loan at Cheltenham Town from Hull City, could offer a solid option for Charlton’s defense should Thomas leave. With experience gained from loan spells at Salford City and Grimsby Town, Smith has demonstrated his adaptability and readiness to contribute effectively, making him a viable candidate to bolster Charlton’s defensive lineup.
- Jason Kerr: With his contract at Wigan Athletic set to expire at the end of the season, Jason Kerr presents an opportunity for Charlton to secure an experienced defender. Kerr’s solid performances at the third-tier level and his potential availability on a free transfer make him an appealing prospect for Charlton, especially given the uncertainty surrounding his future at Wigan.
