Coventry City man set to join ‘ambitious’ League One club amid medical and personal conditions

Coventry City striker Matty Godden is set to join Charlton Athletic after the two clubs are understood to have agreed a fee for the player.

The Sun reported at the weekend that the Sky Blues are ready to sell the ‘highest bidder’ leader, newly promoted Oxford United, also declaring an interest in the services of former Peterborough United.

But the 32-year-old was at League One Charlton on Monday having a medical and agreed personal terms ahead of a move to The Valley being confirmed.

The Sun’s transfer specialist Alan Nixon reports today: “Ambitious Charlton are set to win the race for Coventry striker Matty Godden.

“The Addicks have faced competition from Championship new boys Oxford but Godden is ready to choose League One.

“Boss Nathan Jones wants a new striker as Alfie May leaves and Godden has a good record over the years.”

May 30 is said to be signing for Birmingham City today after scoring 27 goals in all competitions for Athletic last season.

Meanwhile, Godden has slipped down the pecking order with the Sky Blues in the last term after last summer’s signings Ellis Simms and Haji Wright hit form, both finishing the season with 19 goals each. With game time increasingly limited, Godden is understood to have become frustrated and is now keen for more guaranteed first-team action.
