Charlton and Oxford Battle for Coventry Strikers

Charlton Athletic and Oxford United are both battling to sign Coventry City hitman Matt Godden. according to journalist Alan Nixon.

The Addicks are set to lose striker Alfie May, top scorer in League One last season, while the U’s have a Championship campaign to cut their teeth on.

Coventry are prepared to sell Godden as soon as this week and will do business with any club that offers the highest fee.

Godden, 32, is down under Mark Robins at Coventry and the Sky Blues will sell him.

Joining Oxford would keep Godden in the Championship, but Charlton are tipped to have the money to potentially beat the U’s bid.

Godden played in 35 Championship games for Coventry during the recent season and struck six times.

He went on a run of five goals in six league games towards the start of the campaign but then fell out of favor as the season wore on.

Godden faced Oxford in the third round of the FA Cup and scored twice in a comprehensive 6–2 win for Coventry, who reached the semi-finals.
