Stanley outcast Dion Charles looks set for a move to Pompey’s League One rivals Bolton next month, according to sources at The72.

The 26-year-old has been in a Mexican stand-off with Accy boss John Coleman since the summer, after the striker failed to get a move away from the Crown Ground.

Charles scored 19 goals in 42 League One outings last season, but has only featured four times this campaign and hasn’t played for Stanley since August.

Earlier in the month, Bolton were said to be interested in the league top scorer Cole Stockton but it seems Ian Evatt has turned his priorities elsewhere with Charles moving closer to the door at Accrington.
