AdminCharlton Athletic have completed a late deal with Leicester City to sign midfielder Oliver Skipp on a season-long loan.
The move was agreed late in the transfer window, with Skipp now set to spend the 2026/27 campaign away from the King Power Stadium as he looks to secure regular first-team football.
Skipp joined Leicester with expectations of becoming an important part of the squad, but competition for places has made opportunities harder to come by. The temporary switch to Charlton will give the midfielder the chance to play consistently and continue his development.
Charlton were keen to strengthen their midfield before the transfer window closed, and Skipp’s arrival represents a significant addition to their squad. His experience at the highest level of English football could prove valuable throughout what promises to be a demanding season.
For Leicester, the loan provides Skipp with an opportunity to gain valuable minutes while remaining under contract with the club. The Foxes will also be able to monitor his progress closely before deciding on his longer-term future.
Supporters will now be watching closely to see how Skipp adapts to his new surroundings and whether he can rediscover the form that made him such a highly regarded midfielder.
With the deal completed at the final stages of the window, Skipp can now turn his attention towards making an immediate impact at Charlton and proving he still has plenty to offer.
