Paul Pogba’s brother Florentin trains with Charlton’s U23 side after being released by MLS champions Atlanta
CHARLTON could be set to sign Paul Pogba's brother Florentin in a sensational swoop as the Addicks look to bolster their squad.
The 29-year-old is currently a free agent following his release from MLS champions Atlanta after they decided against extending his contract for the 2020 season.
He tweeted: "Florentin Pogba - the brother of Manchester United's Paul Pogba - is training with Charlton U23s."
Pogba - who has earned 21 caps for the Guinea national team - won the US Open Cup and the Campeones Cup during his time with Atlanta.
As well as playing in the MLS, he has also featured for French clubs Sedan and Saint-Etienne, while he also donned the shirt of Turkish outfit Genclerbirligi.
"Kayal has gone back and Conor has gone back – so we’re two down from where we were.
“We all recognise that – myself, Steve Gallen [director of football] and the chairman [Matt Southall] – and are working hard for that to happen.
“I was sitting at home yesterday and we’re all on the phone. We’re trying but it is difficult in January, whatever way you want to look at it, it’s tough.”
