The 22-year-old appears to be returning to League One with Michael Skubala’s Imps right away.

Rob Street, a striker, has a bid of League One team Lincoln City, which Cheltenham Town has accepted.

The 22-year-old forward’s three-year contract at Whaddon Road appears to be coming to an end after just one season.

Although the Imps were one of the other teams interested in Street back in the summer of last year, he turned down a new contract at Premier League Crystal Palace to join Cheltenham.

Before sustaining a knee injury in the first half of the Robins’ 2-1 loss against Derby County on January 27, he made 22 appearances for the team and scored three goals.

Last season, Street broke the team’s long goal drought by giving them a 1-0 lead over Derby at home before the Rams pulled even to earn a point at Whaddon Road.

He also scored in the FA Cup first round loss at AFC Wimbledon and the 2-0 victory against Oxford United at home.

As Street rose through the ranks at Palace, he went on loan to League Two team Newport County AFC and then-National League team Torquay United.

After playing in League One for the last two years, it appears he will stick in the third division with Michael Skubala’s Imps.

It is anticipated that more players will be leaving Cheltenham this summer.

On Friday night at 7.45 p.m., they play their first preseason friendly at Bishop’s Cleeve.

As part of their proactive preparations for Nathan Jones’ first full season at The Valley, Charlton Athletic has confirmed their fourth signing of the summer transfer window.

The Welshman had expressed his intention to wrap up most business before the start of pre-season, and it appears that this is occurring. Josh Edwards, a defender, Luke Berry, and custodian Will Mannion had already joined the Addicks.

Now, center-back Alex Mitchell, who arrived from Championship team Millwall for an undisclosed price, has signed a three-year contract with the team. The Lions defender played League One on loan for Lincoln City during the previous campaign.

As the club confirmed the deal, Jones said: “Alex is someone I’ve known for a while so I’m really pleased to bring him to Charlton. He has gone out on loan and played games which is important for a young lad. He is someone that is an excellent defender and someone that will make us stronger, more competitive and more aggressive.

“He has a lot of room to develop. Having played numerous games, this 22-year-old is far from reaching his potential. He had a tremendous season at Lincoln last year, contributing significantly to their good finish in the second half of the campaign. Working with him is a player I’m very enthusiastic about.”

Although Mitchell came through the Millwall development system, he only made one professional game for the team and is currently not considered to be a part of Neil Harris’ plans, even though the transfer of former Tottenham Hotspur defender Japhet Tanganga has not progressed. In previous years, Mitchell had been on loan at Bromley, Leyton Orient, and St Johnstone.

The defender faced Charlton twice at Lincoln City in the previous season. The Imps drew 1-1 in The Valley in February after defeating the Addicks 3-1 in October.

Mitchell stated, “I’m very happy to get it done early doors,” after signing. Knowing that Charlton was interested made it obvious to me right away. It is a really large club. The last time I visited The Valley, I was in awe of the stadium and played against Charlton. I absolutely look forward to it because I believed the fanbase was the best.

“My conversations with Nathan Jones have gone pretty well. He was quite obvious that he wanted me to feel important and that’s why I came here. I’m excited.

A defender for Lincoln City, will depart the League One team this summer when his contract expires.

Since joining the team on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in 2020 and having the move made permanent the following year, Eyoma has made 95 appearances for the team.

Additionally, the Imps have announced the departure of winger Hakeeb Adelakun, who was on loan at League Two team Doncaster for the second half of the season.

The team led by Michael Skubala has exercised their option to retain defender Lasse Sorensen, who participated in 44 of 46 league games in the 2023–24 season.

Additionally, the team is negotiating new contracts with Ted Bishop, Danny Mandroiu, and Lewis Montsma, who are not under contract.

There are talks between Elicha Ahui and Hayden Cann on exercising options on current contracts.

Lincoln was one spot and two points outside of the play-off spots after finishing seventh in the final League One standings.
