Peterborough United striker Jonson Clarke-Harris is yet to finalize personal terms with Charlton Athletic despite a bid being accepted last week.
Charlton agreed to pay £500,000 to secure the services of the Jamaica Reggae Boyz forward from fellow League One club Peterborough United. Clarke-Harris had previously come close to a move to Bristol Rovers, another League One team. However, his departure from Peterborough seems imminent as his current contract approaches its conclusion.
Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson confirmed that Charlton’s bid had been accepted, but the player had not reached an agreement on personal terms yet. Clarke-Harris has been a key player for Peterborough, winning the Golden Boot twice during his three-year tenure. This season, he has scored 10 goals, including six in the League.
Every player has a valuation
Ferguson acknowledged that every player had a valuation, and if a club met that valuation, they would allow the player to negotiate personal terms. Charlton’s interest in Clarke-Harris has been widely reported, and they are looking to strengthen their squad as they aim to make a late push for the play-offs.
The club’s manager, Michael Appleton, hopes to add Clarke-Harris to their attacking line-up, which already includes Alfie May, the current joint leading scorer in the League.
Charlton is set to face Peterborough in an upcoming match, and they are eager to finalize the deal for Clarke-Harris in time for his potential debut with the club.
