Chris Powell: Chris Solly "going nowhere"

Charlton Athletic manager Chris Powell has denied speculation that full-back Chris Solly will leave the club this summer, despite the signature of Lawrie Wilson.

Powell has said that it is important to have strength in depth in a squad, and as such he sees Solly's future at the Valley and not elsewhere.

"Every manager wants two players for every position and that is how I see it," the South London Press quotes Powell as saying.

"We all ran out of superlatives for Chris Solly last year - and he's going nowhere as far as I'm concerned."

The 21-year-old has come through the youth ranks at Charlton and was linked with a move to West Ham United last month.
