Louie Watson joins Charlton on loan from Luton

"I'm absolutely buzzing to be here. I can't wait to get started and integrate with the boys," he told the club website.

"Charlton is a young, exciting team with high ambition which is going to suit me as an individual. I feel like I am going to suit the team with my attributes and I feel like the other lads' attributes can suit me as well."

Technical Director Andy Scott added: "Louie is a young player who left Derby and went to Luton and did very well. He has already made a number of appearances for Derby and has been involved with Luton's first team.

"He is another player who is highly-regarded and their rise to the Premier League has given us this unique opportunity to get a young player with immense talent into our football club.

"Unfortunately we have had a number of injuries in our midfield area and so the acquisition of Louie will complement the group well and give us more strength in depth."
