Football Insider has been informed by sources that Charlton Athletic and Millwall defender Alex Mitchell have reached an agreement to sign.
As the 22-year-old approaches an exit from The Den, Charlton has had a bid accepted by the Championship club for his services.
After spent the previous season on loan at Lincoln City, Mitchell is now scheduled to finalise his transfer to the League One team.
The centre back will be Charlton’s third summer acquisition after Luke Berry and Will Mannion signed contracts earlier.
Alex Mitchell approaches the Charlton Athletic transfer.
Mitchell joined Millwall’s academy in 2018, and he has been a member of the team for the last six years.
But despite making just one senior appearance for the team after signing a professional contract, the defender hasn’t been able to push his way into The Den’s first team.
In the past few years, Mitchell has accumulated experience through loan stints at Bromley, Leyton Orient, St Johnstone, and Lincon.
After being listed in the starting lineup for 39 of his 41 games in the previous season, his temporary move to Lincoln proved to be effective.
The Lincolnshire team, who won ten of their final 15 games, almost missed out on a play-off spot. Mitchell started every one of those games.
As they seek to bolster their defensive options for the upcoming campaign, Charlton has finally reached an agreement to bring Mitchell to The Valley.
After Football Insider reported on June 17 that the south London club had reached an agreement to sign experienced midfielder Berry, the center-back is expected to become the team’s second signing in as many days.
After placing 16th in League One, Charlton had a dismal season the previous year.
In other news, a League One team signed a defender after defeating Bolton and Barnsley.
