Exclusive: Charlton Athletic in transfer battle with League One rivals as they seek deal for Fulham player | OneFootball

Charlton Athletic and Cheltenham Town are among a host of clubs that are tracking Fulham youngster Ibane Bowat, Football League World has been told.

The 20-year-old centre-back has come through the ranks with the Cottagers but he has understandably found it tough to get near the first-team, with his game time over recent years coming with the development sides.

Therefore, a loan could be seen as the next best step to further his career, with the Londoners seemingly ready to sanction a temporary switch for Bowat.

And, FLW has been told that League One duo Charlton and Cheltenham are keen on the defender, as they look to bolster their respective squads this month as the pair hope to pull further clear of the relegation zone.

Have Charlton Athletic won or lost more against each of these 25 English teams?

However, they won’t get a free run at the player, as we can also reveal that there is interest from north of the border in the Scotland youth international, whilst clubs from abroad are also monitoring his situation.

So, a big decision awaits for Bowat, who also faces an uncertain long-term future. He currently has a deal at Craven Cottage that expires in the summer but Fulham do have an option to extend that by another 12 months if they wish.
