Ipswich Town striker Freddie Ladapo joined Charlton Athletic during the January transfer window.
The Town forward had struggled for game time since the club gained promotion to the Championship, earning just 350 minutes of game time from 17 appearances in the league (all stats from Fbref).
The 31-year-old has since made six appearances for the Addicks in League One, including five starts.
He has contributed one goal and one assist, with Nathan Jones’ side competing against relegation to the fourth tier.
Too early to determine Ladapo’s future
FLW’s Charlton fan pundit Ben Fleming believes it is too soon to decide whether a permanent move for Ladapo could be on the cards in the summer but raised the striker’s wages a potential stumbling block.
He has claimed that the club’s league status may play a pivotal role, as relegation to League Two would surely end any chance of signing the forward on a long-term basis.
“I think it’s too early to say yes to Ladapo,” Fleming told Football League World.
“I think we saw in his first few games that he was still working his way up to match fitness, clearly didn’t get much game time at Ipswich.
