[Getty Images] Charlton Athletic fan and journalist Louis Mendez believes new Addicks signing Junior Nkeng is "a really exciting prospect" for the side, but might not be able to make an immediate impact. The 19-year-old has played 25 games for AFC Wimbledon in League One but the Championship will be unknown territory for the Spaniard. "There's always a difference between being in League One and into the Championship, which Charlton found out with a few of the players last summer," Mendez told BBC Radio London. "There was that deal for Jesurun Rak-Sakyi [that fell through] which I think would have added some real quality on that right-hand side on the pitch for Charlton, which I would say is probably the missing piece if there is one. "But who knows? With Millenic Alli, who played brilliantly in the win against Preston, and Nkeng [who] sounds like [he] can play on both sides, maybe there is enough."
