Deal For Midfielder Close

Young midfield star, Dean Sinclair is set to finalise a deal which will see him make a move to Championship new boys Charlton Athletic in the next 48 hours.

Sinclair decided to leave former club, League 2 Barnet at the end of last season rejecting the offer of a new contract.

The 22-year-old has been on trial with The Addicks and has seemed to impress boss Alan Pardew. Sinclair’s age means that the player cannot leave Barnet for free under the old Bosman ruling and Charlton must pay a compensation fee.

The clubs are believed to have come to an agreement that Charlton will pay their North London neighbours a fee of £125,000 for Sinclair avoiding the fee being settled by a Football League jury.
