Nathan Eccleston To Join Charlton Athletic On Loan Until The End Of The Season

Liverpool starlet Nathan Eccleston is set to join Charlton Athletic on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old striker is down in London to finalize the deal and trained with the Charlton first-team on Wednesday morning.

Eccleston is expected to be available for the Addicks' trip to Sheffield Wednesday as the League One side look to mount a promotion push in the second half of the season.

The Manchester-born forward has made seven appearances for Liverpool so far this season, mainly featuring in the Reds' Europa League campaign.

But the Merseysiders want their young prospect to gain more experience and have a strong relationship with Charlton after they signed Jonjo Shelvey from the Londoners for £3 million in the summer.

Eccleston, who joined Liverpool when he was 15, spent last season on loan at Huddersfield and scored one goal in 12 appearances.
