The London club has acquired a young "Charlton" defender Carl Jenkinson.

The 19-year-old footballer, who represents the Finnish youth (up to 21 years old) team, but will have the opportunity to defend the honor of the English team, plays in the positions of right-back and center-back.

"I hope Charlton fans will understand that I couldn't refuse such an offer," said Jenkinson.

The value of the deal slightly exceeded one million euros.
