Wycombe have completed the loan signing of England Under-19 striker Ade Azeez from Charlton Athletic until January.

The 18-year-old caught the eye of Gareth Ainsworth on Monday when he hit a hat-trick for the Addicks U21 side with the Wanderers manager watching on. "It will be a great experience for me," Azeez told the club's official website. "I see it as a critical stage for me and hopefully it will make me as a player. I'm hoping I will be able to do well for the club and get a couple of goals. "I first heard of the interest late last week and when I heard I wanted to go straight away. I wanted to pack my bags then and go that afternoon." Ainsworth added: "Ade is a player I've known about for a while. He had his England U19 call-up not that long ago and he's still developing. "He's very dynamic, he wants to score goals and he wants to work hard. He's everything that typifies my type of play. We're lucky to have him and I'm really pleased that we have secured him for a month. "I went to see him on Monday in a game where I was thinking whether I will take him or not, but I couldn't leave him alone after that. He's a good guy and real down-to-earth lad as well. He will fit right in with the way we want to do things."
