Nicky Bailey's form in what has otherwise been a dismal season for the Addicks will inevitably see him linked with other clubs.

Although denying reports that Birmingham City have already enquired about the player, Charlton boss Phil Parkinson told the South London Press: "I wouldn't be surprised if there are more rumours like that over the coming weeks because he's had an exceptional season.

"Nicky has scored goals and that obviously attracts attention."
