CHARLTON SIGN BOTHROYD AND GISLASON
Charlton Athletic have signed striker Jay Bothroyd Icelandic attacking midfielder Rurik Gislason. Former Coventry City man Bothroyd joined just before the midnight transfer deadline while Gislason has moved from HK Kopavogur.
Bothroyd is thought to have joined on a free transfer due to his Italian club Perugia’s financial problems, but terms of the deal were undisclosed. The 23-year-old spent last season on loan at Blackburn Rovers where he scored just one Barclays Premiership goal.
He replaces Francis Jeffers in Alan Curbishley’s squad, after the former Everton and Arsenal striker signed for Rangers on a four-month loan, and becomes Charlton’s 10th signing of the summer.
Bothroyd cost Coventry £1million when he arrived from Arsenal in 2000 but the former England Under-21 international has yet to establish himself.
Charlton earlier signed Icelandic attacking midfielder Rurik Gislason from HK Kopavogur.
The 17-year-old has signed a two-year deal at The Valley and could eventually cost
Charlton £180,000, depending on his success.
He joins compatriot Hermann Hreidarsson at the club, with Charlton confident they have secured a player of vast potential. Ajax, Bayern Munich and PSV Eindhoven have been admirers in the past, and Gislason had a spell with Anderlecht which was curtailed by injury.
Charlton chief executive Peter Varney told the official club website, www.cafc.co.uk: “Rurik is an extremely highly rated player throughout Europe, as can be seen by the quality of clubs interested in signing him.”
The Addicks’ Valley Gold scheme, to which supporters contribute, has helped fund the signing.
Gislason is expected to start in the club’s youth ranks having already played for Charlton’s under-18 side in a friendly defeat by Feyenoord. |
