Lincoln City in Advanced Talks for Charlton Striker Tanto Olaofe
Lincoln City are reportedly in advanced talks with Charlton Athletic over a move for striker Tanto Olaofe, strengthening their attacking options before the summer transfer window closes.
Journalist Pete O'Rourke has reported the talks, with the Imps seemingly looking to add another forward to Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw's squad. Olaofe is currently contracted to Championship rivals Charlton, having joined the Addicks from Stockport County for an undisclosed fee in July 2025.
What's the Background on Tanto Olaofe?
Olaofe is a 26-year-old central striker who has experience across the Championship, League One, and League Two. He made 25 appearances for Charlton in his first campaign, scoring once, but struggled to establish himself in south London.
Why is Lincoln City Interested in Olaofe?
The Imps have already strengthened their attacking options with the loan signing of Mason Melia from Tottenham Hotspur. However, the reported move for Olaofe suggests they are still searching for greater depth and variety before the window closes.
What's Next for Olaofe?
No agreement has yet been announced, but the suggestion that negotiations are advanced means Olaofe could become the latest addition to City's squad as preparations continue for the Championship campaign.
