The London-born man helped the Dons gain promotion from League Two in his second year under Paul Tisdale and then helped them stay up this past season.

Gilbey started his career at Colchester United and went onto play 121 games for their first-team before Wigan Athletic swooped to sign him in 2016.

Gilbey has got his career back on track with the Buckinghamshire club and is now set to be rewarded with a move to Charlton.

He still has a year left on his deal with Russell Martin’s side but they have opted to cash in now it appears.
