Leaburn has been impressing with the Addicks where he’s netted six times in just ten appearances this season.

And he’s got the attributes to succeed at the highest level with his crazy 6ft 6in stature at just 19-years-old.

Not only that, but it’s in his blood too as the son of Charlton legend Carl Leaburn who made over 300 appearanes for the club between 1987 and 1998.

Chelsea are already familiar with his abilities after he rose through their youth ranks before making his move to Charlton in 2019.

While Brentford have garnered a reputation for uncovering hidden gems in the transfer market.

They’re not the only clubs who have had an eye on the centre-forward either.

Aston Villa were said to be keen on striking up a deal last season, but were given an emphatic no by the EFL club.

While it’s reported that a German Bundesliga club submitted a bid worth over £3million this summer, only to see that rejected too.

Charlton may be sitting on a future top level talent, but they’re not feeling pressured to offload the man that has been crucial for them so far this term.

Leaburn still has two years remaining on his current deal at The Valley with his contract running until June 2025.
