Rotherham United join Cardiff City, Derby County in race for £1.5m Dion Charles

Rotherham United are looking at a summer deal for Accrington Stanley striker Dion Charles, who was last month linked with both Cardiff City and Derby County.

Charles, 25, has just capped a prolific season with Accrington Stanley in League One. The Northern Irishman netted 19 goals in 42 league appearances, in what was just his second season playing in the Football League.

Formerly of the likes of AFC Fylde, FC Halifax and Southport, Charles has burst onto the scene this season and last month, The Sun reported that both Cardiff City and Derby County were eyeing the £1.5million-rated man.

But now, The Sun on Sunday (23.05.21, pg. 59) reports that Rotherham United are looking at a summer move for Charles after their relegation into League One was confirmed.

It was Rotherham and Derby who were locked in a final day showdown along with Sheffield Wednesday, with Wayne Rooney’s Rams eventually finishing a place and a point above the drop zone.

Charles then is hot property going into the summer and with a £1.5million price tag already reported, we could yet see that price sky rocket should any of Cardiff, Derby or Rotherham make the initial move.

Whether or not the likes of Derby or even Rotherham could afford that remains unclear, given Derby’s takeover saga and Rotherham’s relegation.

Cardiff as well might not be interest in a striker still after they secured the free signing of James Collins from Luton Town this week.

Either way, Accrington will do really well to hold on to Charles, but on the plus side they could receive a decent transfer fee for the player and hopefully reinvest that back into the side before the start of next season.
