Charlton announced that a takeover deal had been agreed in NovemberThe EFL are investigating links between Manchester City and the Abu Dhabi consortium which has agreed to buy Charlton. Charlton announced a deal had been agreed for the takeover three weeks ago, but it is subject to ratification from the league's Owners' and Directors' test. The club's former owner Roland Duchatelet sold his stake in the club to the consortium in November, bringing an end to his controversial five-year tenure. Meanwhile, Charlton striker Lyle Taylor has attracted interest from a handful of Championship clubs ahead of the January transfer window, including Swansea, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield Wednesday. Lee Bowyer's side are currently 17th in the Championship and are without a league victory since a 3-0 home win over Derby on October 19.
