Aston Villa leading transfer chase for Charlton wonderkid Miles Leaburn who Chelsea let slip through their fingers

ASTON VILLA are among the Premier League clubs considering a summer move for young Charlton striker Miles Leaburn.

The 19-year-old is son of former Addicks star Carl.

Aston Villa are eyeing a move for Charlton star and ex-Chelsea youngster Miles Leaburn

And he is second in the club’s scoring ranks this season.

That’s despite missing more than two months of the campaign with injury.

Leaburn has hit 11 goals in 31 League One appearances — with only 14 of them starts.

And that has alerted Villa and other top-flight sides.

The 6ft 5in forward came through Chelsea’s academy.

He then joined Charlton in 2019 and turned pro last summer.

The Addicks expect offers for him after just one season.

Dad Carl played more than 300 games for the club from 1987 to 1998.

Meanwhile, Villa have also been linked with a move for Divock Origi.

The Belgian left Liverpool for AC Milan last summer.

But he has struggled to impress with just two goals this term.

And Origi could now be set for a Premier League return with Unai Emery’s side.
