### **Charlton Athletic and Leeds United in Transfer Battle as Millwall Star Set to Join League One Club**

 

A heated transfer tug-of-war is unfolding between Charlton Athletic and Leeds United, with both clubs vying for the signature of a Millwall standout but a surprise twist could see the player join a League One rival instead.

 

According to sources close to the negotiations, 22-year-old midfielder George Honeyman is the subject of serious interest from both Charlton and Leeds this summer. Despite plying his trade in the Championship, Honeyman is reportedly open to a move that offers guaranteed playing time and a central role two things the League One contenders are ready to offer.

 

While Leeds United were early favourites to secure his signature, reports suggest the player is leaning toward a move to Charlton Athletic, who are aggressively rebuilding under new ownership and aiming to challenge for promotion in the 2025–26 season.

 

However, a new contender has emerged: an unnamed League One club is now believed to be in advanced talks with Honeyman’s representatives, and a deal could be finalized in the coming days. The club rumored to be one of last season’s playoff finalists is offering a long-term contract and assurances of a key midfield role, making it an attractive proposition for the former Sunderland and Hull City player.

 

“Charlton have made their interest clear and have had direct talks,” a source told Football Insider. “But the player has also had discussions elsewhere in League One, and that could tilt the decision.”

 

Honeyman, known for his work rate, leadership, and versatility, featured in 25 matches for Millwall last season. With his contract set to expire, Millwall appear resigned to losing him, especially with no new extension in sight.

 

With Charlton eager to strengthen their midfield and Leeds looking to add depth ahead of another Championship push, Honeyman’s decision will likely come down to guaranteed minutes and project vision. But with a third club now in pole position, this transfer saga is far from over.
