Charlton are interested in Colchester midfielder George Moncur - with the 22-year-old set to move after United’s relegation to League Two.
The former West Ham United youngster is expected to cost in the region of £150,000.
And Moncur, who had a loan spell with Wimbledon early in his professional career, has been identified as a signing target for the Addicks.
Despite Colchester’s struggles in League One he managed to score 12 goals in 42 appearances to finish top of their scoring charts.
The former England U18 international is the son of John Moncur, who played for Tottenham, West Ham and Swindon.
Moncur signed permanently for the U’s in November 2014 and his contract runs until next summer.
