Cheltenham Town's Charlie McCann is attracting interest from Championship clubs following his outstanding early-season form. The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has scored seven goals in his first nine League Two games, helping his side to eighth place in the table with 15 points from 10 matches.
His performances earned him the League Two Player of the Month award for September, underlining his importance to the Robins. McCann, who can also operate in a deeper role, joined Cheltenham in June for what the club described as a "nominal fee". The length of his contract is not publicly known.
Cheltenham are understood to be reluctant to sell a player who has become central to their plans. The club would seek a significant profit on their initial investment if they were to consider a sale. McCann has only failed to score in three of his league appearances this term, though his most recent outing ended with a red card.
Born in Manchester, McCann began his career at Manchester United before a spell with Rangers and representing Northern Ireland at Under-21 level. He has stated his aim is to earn a senior international call-up if his club form continues.
Interest from higher divisions is expected to intensify as the January transfer window approaches, with clubs assessing potential targets. The Robins' recent form shows one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five outings.
