Charlton Athletic have secured the services of Republic of Ireland international winger Millenic Alli, bringing him in from Luton Town for an undisclosed fee. The 24-year-old attacker has agreed to a long-term contract with the League One side, adding depth to their wide options.

Alli, who has represented Ireland at youth level and earned senior call-ups, is known for his pace and direct running on the flank. He joined Luton in 2023 but found first-team opportunities limited in the Championship. A loan spell earlier this season allowed him to gain regular minutes, and his performances caught the eye of Charlton's recruitment team.

The Addicks have been active in the January window as they push for a playoff spot. Manager Nathan Jones expressed confidence that Alli's energy and technical ability will fit well into the squad's attacking style. "He is a player we have tracked for a while," Jones said in a club statement. "He brings speed and a willingness to take on defenders, which we need."

Alli is expected to be available for selection this weekend, pending international clearance. He becomes Charlton's third signing of the month, following additions to the midfield and defense. The club hopes his arrival will boost their push up the table and provide a creative spark in the final third.
