Charlton Athletic, Norwich City, and Portsmouth should swoop for Barnsley star amid transfer twist | OneFootball

Barnsley forward Davis Keillor-Dunn is reportedly available for transfer this January

Davis Keillor-Dunn looks like he could be heading towards the exit door at Oakwell this January, and clubs around the EFL should be on high alert for his situation.

As per the FLW exclusive, Barnsley are willing to listen to offers for star forward Keillor-Dunn this January, with the Englishman bound to be high on many teams' shopping list.

Keillor-Dunn has netted 11 times and grabbed one assist in 21 League One games so far this season, and since joining the Tykes from Mansfield in the summer of 2024, he has been their main man up top.

With Barnsley said to be willing to part ways with the 28-year-old this January to bring in some money, there will be numerous teams in League One and the EFL Championship who will be interested in obtaining his signature.

Despite showing some positive signs in the early stages of the campaign, with impressive away victories over the likes of Sheffield United and Ipswich Town, Charlton Athletic find themselves slipping towards a relegation battle.

Led by the polarising Nathan Jones, the Addicks' form in front of goal has been patchy at best.

Prior to their 2-2 draw away to Blackburn Rovers, none of their strikers had scored more than two goals, with Charlie Kelman, Miles Leaburn, and Isaac Olaofe all struggling in the final third this campaign.

Sonny Carey remains their top scorer with five, and if Charlton are to climb their way away from relegation contenders, reinforcements in attacking areas simply must be a priority at The Valley this winter.

Keillor-Dunn fits the mould as to what Jones likes in a player, having vast experience in the EFL, a proven ability to consistently hit the back of the net, and being able to play several positions across the front line.

Whether Charlton would be willing to meet the demands of Barnsley, though, remains to be seen, but Charlton would be wise to try their luck for the 28-year-old to bolster their survival prospects.

Norwich City still occupy the final relegation spot, having fallen to a late 2-0 home defeat to Stoke City in their last outing.

With Philippe Clement having replaced Liam Manning in the dugout, the Canaries' form and performances have certainly seen an upturn, though there is still a long way to go before they can confirm safety.

Injuries to the likes of Papa Diallo, Ante Crnac and Amankwah Forson have hindered Norwich's options at the top end of the pitch, and twinned with Josh Sargent's regression in front of goal, their attacking output simply hasn't been near the required levels.

Norwich simply requires more quality in the final third of the pitch, and a move for someone like Keillor-Dunn could prove to be an inspired piece of business from the club.

Sporting director Ben Knapper has been widely criticised for his role in the club's poor recruitment, though have already kicked off their window with the addition of Canadian winger Ali Ahmed.

Keillor-Dunn would be a slightly different type of target than that which they have previously gone for, but may prove to be exactly what they need to fight their way out of danger.

Like Charlton, Portsmouth are at serious risk of slipping into a relegation battle sooner rather than later if their form doesn't pick up.

John Mousinho's side are the second-lowest scorers in the division, ahead of only Sheffield Wednesday, with hitting the back of the net becoming an increasingly obvious issue at Fratton Park.

Adrian Segecic is the club's top scorer with four, followed by Terry Devlin and Min-Hyeok Yang on three, the latter of whom has been recalled from his loan spell by Tottenham Hotspur ahead of a loan move to Coventry City.

Colby Bishop has scored just once this season so far in 22 appearances, which is simply nowhere near the required level for a side looking to try and stay in the league.

Reinforcements in the final third are therefore imperative for Pompey this January, who must scrape all the money they have got together and invest it into the attack this winter.

Keillor-Dunn may well be out of Pompey's price range, but given the lack of options that are usually available in January, they would be naive not at least try their luck for the Barnsley man, who would add a different dimension to their front line.
