The Portuguese center-back is set to sign a three-year contract with the Championship team
It's looking like New York City's search for a prime center-back continues. According to the Belgian newspaper L'Avenir, Standard Liege's Jorge Teixeira is joining English Championship team Charlton Athletic on a three-and-a-half year contract.
If the report is correct, this would be his ninth team in 10 years. Charlton Athletic is mired deeply in the relegation zone, having given up 53 goals in 27 games, and won only four games on the season. Like New York City, the Addicks are desperate for defensive reinforcements and it looks like Teixeira will provide some help.
