South London Press transfer news live – Charlton midfielder set for League Two switch and Palace defender has had summer interest

Palace defender has had transfer window interest – 11:30 AM

Crystal Palace defender Chris Richards has had interest from Bundesliga side Union Berlin this summer.

The USA international is behind Marc Guehi and Joachim Andersen in the pecking order.

It is unlikely that Palace would allow Richards to leave Selhurst Park unless a replacement is found.

Defender Richards played 90 minutes for the Eagles in their 4-2 EFL Cup win against Plymouth last night.

The 23-year-old joined Palace on a five-year deal from Bayern Munich last summer.

Charlton Athletic midfielder Jack Payne is joining Milton Keynes on loan.

The 28-year-old, who was signed on a free transfer from Swindon Town last summer, is out of contract at the start of July.

Payne has scored seven goals in 54 appearances for the Addicks.
