Chelsea line up transfer for giant 6ft 6in Charlton teen… three years after releasing striker from their academy

CHELSEA have their eye on a giant young talent from League One.

According to the Daily Mail, the Premier League giants are keen on 6ft 6in Charlton starlet Miles Leaburn.

Leaburn has been impressing with the Addicks where he’s netted six times in just ten appearances this season.

And he’s got the attributes to succeed at the highest level with his crazy 6ft 6in stature at just 19-years-old.

Not only that, but it’s in his blood too as the son of Charlton legend Carl Leaburn who made over 300 appearances for the club between 1987 and 1998.

Chelsea are already familiar with his abilities after he rose through their youth ranks before making his move to Charlton in 2019.

But they’re not the only clubs who have had an eye on the centre-forward either.

Brentford have garnered a reputation for uncovering hidden gems in the transfer market and are keen.

While Aston Villa were said to be trying to strike up a deal last season, but were given an emphatic no by the EFL club.

While it’s reported that a German Bundesliga club submitted a bid worth over £3million this summer, only to see that rejected too.

Charlton may be sitting on a future top level talent, but they’re not feeling pressured to offload the man that has been crucial for them so far this term.

Leaburn still has two years remaining on his current deal at The Valley with his contract running until June 2025.
