Gassan Ahadme joins Charlton on a four-year deal from Ipswich Town. Richard Cawley comments: ‘ Supposed to be a machine in terms of his fitness.’
Nathan Jones told Cawley: ‘The two strikers we’ve signed
have real pedigree and I’d like to thank the board and the ownership for
backing us on these signings. Our squad has significantly improved already this
summer and we haven’t finished our recruitment.’
Whether we paid the £1m Ipswich were reported to be asking for him is not known, but it would be excessive. However, the East Anglian Daily Times claims that the £1m has been paid together with add ons which could take it above £1m.

Speaking after the move was confirmed, Ahadme said: “Since
the first time I spoke with Nathan, I was impressed with the things that he
told me, and especially the energy that I felt from him and the things that he
wants to do. It’s a really ambitious project and that’s why I’m excited to be
here.”
Jones added: “I’m delighted we’ve signed Gassan, he was a
real number one target for us. Like with the signing of Matty Godden, it has
been a long process - we’ve been pursuing him all summer. We’re delighted to
add him, he brings us quality, and a presence and profile of a number
nine.

Sceptics may doubt whether they will score as many goals between them as Alfie May, but then a disgruntled May forced to stay would not have performed as well as last season.
