What do we think?
Naby Sarr has turned in some impressive performances for Charlton Athletic since he joined the club back in June 2017. The Senegalese defender made the move from French side Red Star FC and has never looked back. Indeed, since that move, the enforcer has gone on to make 93 appearances across all competitions and scoring six goals for Lee Bowyer and the Addicks, becoming a key cog in a well-oiled machine. At 26-years-old, Sarr will represent the Teranga Lions for the first time – a proud moment in his career and we couldn’t be happier for him.
