One of Charlton's young talents is on the radars of Premier League clubs ahead of the January transfer window.

The Addicks have a history of developing some of the country's best talent, with plenty of their stars - Joe Gomez and Nick Pope to name a few - going on to play in the Premier League.

Now, Charlton's current striker Leaburn is the subject of interest from England's top flight.

According to the South London Press, both Leaburn's former club Chelsea and fellow west London outfit Brentford are weighing up a move for the 19-year-old in the upcoming transfer window.

The Addicks rejected a bid from an unnamed Bundesliga club worth an excess of £3million in the summer and aren't under pressure to sell Leaburn.

The 19-year-old, who is the son of the club's legendary, homegrown striker Carl Leaburn and Head of First Team Player Care Tracey, signed for the Addicks from Chelsea after being released by the Blues in 2019.

His introduction to the first team last season was a sign of things to come, as he netted a late goal on his debut away at Accrington Stanley.

The 6ft 5ins teenager has already netted 19 goals in 50 appearances, tallies that would undoubtedly have been higher had it not been for two spells on the sidelines with injuries.

Speaking to talkSPORT.com before Charlton's Carabao Cup quarter-final clash against Man United last season, Leaburn said: "I’ve come a long way so far.

"It’s only been about just under six months but I feel like I’ve already learnt quite a lot."

It'll be no surprise to the Addicks that clubs in higher divisions have been keeping tabs on the Bromley-born striker.

However, it'll be key for them to keep hold of their talent - who has already netted six times this season - should they want to be promoted back to the Championship this season.

Leaburn signed a three-year deal last summer, keeping him at The Valley until 2025.

Chelsea also snapped up striker Mason Burstow, who is currently on loan at Sunderland after a brief spell in the first team, for £2million in January 2022.
