Charlton have not bid for Wigan striker Will Grigg, News Shopper understands.

He played under Addicks boss Karl Robinson during a loan spell at MK Dons, scoring 22 goals in the 2014/15 campaign, including a brace against Manchester United in the League Cup.

Grigg, 26, has been promoted and relegated with Wigan in two seasons.

The Northern Ireland forward is a proven goalscorer in the third tier, but is currently behind Ivan Toney in the pecking order at the DW Stadium.

Wigan are not prepared to sell Grigg, who has just one year left on his contract, to a League One rival.

And News Shopper has been told that if he was to leave the Latics, it would be for a Championship club.

Grigg scored seven goals in Wigan’s disappointing Championship campaign last term.

His season was ended prematurely with a knee injury, and he is still working his way back to full fitness, appearing off the bench in Wigan’s first three league games.

Charlton want to bring in another striker to push Josh Magennis and Lee Novak.

Robinson has said the club are not willing to spend £1m on a frontman, and that is a fee Wigan would command for Grigg, given his prolific record in recent years.
