Michail Antonio has been working as a pundit for TNT Sports this season

Michail Antonio is training with Charlton Athletic as they discuss a short-term contract for the free agent striker.

The Championship side are drafting an offer that is understood to be on a pay as you play basis until the summer for the 35-year-old.

Former West Ham forward Antonio has not played a competitive game in England since his near-fatal car crash in December 2024 that left him with multiple leg fractures.

He played for Jamaica in the CONCACAF Gold Cup in June last year after recovering but was released by West Ham before the start of this season.

Antonio has previously trained and held talks with Brentford and Leicester over proposed contracts, but deals failed to materialise.

Charlton boss Nathan Jones has one spot left available to fill in his 25-man squad. And, as he is a free agent, Antonio can be added to their ranks outside of the transfer window.

His arrival would give Charlton five forwards to choose from with Lyndon Dykes, Miles Leaburn, Charlie Kelman and Matty Godden.

Dykes and Godden are also on contracts until June, though there is an option to extend on Godden.
