What recent football news updates are highlighted?
The latest Pompey news updates every day from the Pompey Sound News Desk. Football League World, the football news agency, are peddling an exclusive. It's mainly aimed at Charlton, but they also include Pompey as being one of the teams that ought to be interested in the following available footballer. Davis Keylor Dunn looks like he could be heading towards the exit door at Oakwell this January, and clubs around the EFL should be on high alert for his situation. As per the FLW exclusive, Barnsley are willing to listen to offers for star forward Keylor Dunn this January, with the Englishman bound to be high on many teams' shopping list. Keylor Dunn has netted 11 times and grabbed one assist in 21 Ligue 1 games so far this season, and since joining the Tykes from Mansfield in the summer of 2024, he has been their main man up top.
With Barnsley said to be willing to part ways with the 28-year-old this January to bring in some money, there will be numerous teams in Ligue 1 and the EFL Championship, who will be interested in obtaining his signature. Despite showing some positive signs in the early stages of the campaign, with impressive away victories over the likes of Sheffield United and Ipswich Town, Charlton Athletic find themselves slipping towards a relegation battle. Led by the polarising Nathan Jones the addict's form in front of goal has been patchy at best. Prior to their 2-2 draw away to Blackburn Rovers, none of their strikers had scored more than two goals, with Charlie Kelman, Myles Liebern and Isaac Olefe all struggling in the final third this campaign.
Sonny Carey remains their top scorer with five, and if Charlton are to climb their way away from relegation contenders, reinforcements in attacking areas simply must be a priority at the Valley this winter. Keylor Dunn fits the mould as to what Jones likes in a player, having vast experience in the EFL, a proven ability to consistently hit the back of the net, and being able to play several positions across the front line. Whether Charlton would be willing to meet the demands of Barnsley though remains to be seen, but Charlton would be wise to try their luck for the 28-year-old to bolster their survival prospects. Just had a quick look at his background, this boy, and he scores goals for a midfield player, 87 appearances for Oldham, scored 25 goals, 68 appearances for Mansfield, 28 goals, and Barnsley, how about this, 55 appearances, 27 goals.
That is a serious strike rate. And he's available. Now, how much? That is the $64,000 question, isn't it? And it goes without saying, but being a bit of an Alan Partridge, I will say it, it'll be more than $64,000. Precocious Surinamese right winger Genoa Marcelo has stirred the pot about his possible move away from Switzerland, with Pompey rumoured to be one of his possible destinations. The live wireball player is known to have wanted away in the summer, and has failed to show up for the team bonding exercise currently being carried out in the Swiss Alps. It's rumoured that there is more to his absence than an understandable contempt for the main activity which the team are being asked to compete in, namely, a curling competition.
you heard that right the players are having a curling competition in order to bond.
Who is Keylor Dunn and why is he attracting EFL interest?
Further to his absence from this event, Markelo has posted a mysterious comment on Instagram consisting merely of two words, news soon. All the signs are that he's on his way out of the door, and expects the deal to be completed soon, which will involve a sum of money somewhere between 1.6 and 1.8 million pounds or euros depending on how the deal is done, and that sum of money going into the Swiss team's Swiss bank account. Yes, this chap appeared on a previous and earlier Pompey Sound News bulletin. The fact that he makes a second appearance in no way suggests that there's an increase in the likelihood of him turning up at Fratton Park. But it does look as though the likelihood is increasing that he's on his way somewhere.
And if I was a professional footballer and took pride in every aspect of my appearance and status and image, I don't think I'd want to be seen curling.
