The 24-year-old former Spurs youngster has been on trial at The Valley and looks to have done enough to win a permanent move to the Addicks after impressing manager Chris Powell.

He said: “Dorian Dervite is back with us, so we’re hopeful of getting something done.

“Nothing has been completed yet but we’re in discussions.”
