Cheltenham Town midfielder Charlie McCann is attracting interest from Championship clubs following his outstanding start to the League Two season. The 24-year-old has scored seven goals in nine league appearances, a run of form that has put him on the radar of clubs higher up the pyramid.
McCann, who joined Cheltenham for a nominal fee in June, was named League Two Player of the Month for September. He has found the net in six of his nine league outings this term, becoming a central figure for a side currently sitting eighth in the table with 15 points from 10 games. His recent red card has done little to dampen the growing attention.
Club stance on potential move
Cheltenham Town are understood to be reluctant to sell the player, who they see as vital to their plans for the campaign. The club would only consider a sale for a significant profit, though the exact fee required remains unclear. McCann's current contract length is also not publicly known.
The Northern Ireland Under-21 international, who came through the academies at Manchester United and Rangers, is focused on maintaining his form with an eye on a senior international call-up. His performances have been a bright spot in a mixed run of recent results for Cheltenham, whose last five games have yielded one win, two draws and two defeats.
With the January transfer window approaching, clubs are assessing potential targets. McCann's profile and goal output from midfield have made him a subject of this early speculation. For now, he remains a key player for Cheltenham as they prepare for their next match away at Oldham on 17 October. The club's current league position and recent form are detailed in our standings section.
