Euell set for talks with Addicks
Jason Euell's career statistics
Charlton striker Jason Euell will speak to boss Alan Curbishley this week, with a view to resolving his future quickly.
The 28-year-old started just seven Premiership games last season, and is under contract for another year.
"Last season was a non-existent one for me. I have to look at all my options," he told the South London Press.
"At the moment I'm looking for a fresh start at a new club, but if I end up staying at Charlton I will give my best for them next season."
The Jamaican-born star was Charlton's record signing when he joined them for 4.75m in the summer of 2001.
Since then, he has scored 36 goals in 144 league and cup appearances for the Addicks.

Carter to hold talks with Bruce
Carter's career statistics
West Brom target Darren Carter will hold talks with Birmingham manager Steve Bruce before deciding his future.
The midfielder has been the subject of a bid from Baggies boss Bryan Robson, which Bruce said he was considering.
Carter, 21, said: "The first I heard about it was when I read of it in the papers and people started calling me.
"I'll speak to the gaffer and see what he says and what his plans are for me. I'll then take things from there when I know more myself."
Carter struggled to hold down a first-team place with Birmingham until he was recalled from a successful three-month loan spell with Sunderland because of injuries.
He impressed on his return to the side but was back out of favour towards the end of the campaign - and Bruce is believed to be looking for new midfield talent this summer.
Lee Bowyer is a player I admire. I like him a lot and we will see what develops over the next few weeks
Steve Bruce
Chelsea's Scott Parker and Lee Bowyer of Newcastle are understood to be major targets for the City supremo.
Bruce said: "I am not going to reveal my number one target because that would be unfair of me but you can rest assured that we are working hard to try and do something.
"With Scott Parker you never say never but I think we are up against it with that one.
"We won't give up hope but there are three or four other irons in the fire and we are talking about some very good players.
"Lee Bowyer is a player I admire. I like him a lot and we will see what develops over the next few weeks."

Lyon dismiss Essien & Drogba swap
Essien out of Ghana team
Lyon have dismissed a proposed swap deal involving Chelsea striker Didier Droga joining the French champions with Michael Essien going the other way.
Essien, 22, who joined the Ligue 1 club in 2003 on a four-year deal, has still to sign a contract extension with Lyon.
"If chief executive Peter Kenyon proposes a deal because Chelsea have signed Eto'o or Adriano, I'd listen.
"But I don't believe in Father Christmas," Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas told sports newspaper l'Equipe.
Last season Ghana international Essien was voted Player of the Year by France's National Union of Professional Footballers (UNFP).
Lyon have reportedly already turned down a 10m bid by Chelsea for Essien, who has also attracted interest from Manchester United, Arsenal and Real Madrid.
"Before he left for Ghana he told me he wanted to stay another year," added Aulas.
The Lyon chief also revealed that the French champions were interested in two strikers - Bordeaux's Marouane Chamakh and Liverpool's Milan Baros.
"We have already made one, big offer for Chamakh. We want him, he's our priority," he said.
"We're waiting to hear from Baros and I plan to go to Prague to see him this week with coach Gerard Houllier."

Cahill wants Kewell for Everton
Kewell's career statistics
Everton's Tim Cahill has urged boss David Moyes to move for Australia team-mate Harry Kewell if he leaves Liverpool in the close season.
Kewell, 26, came under fire last season and limped off injured in the Carling Cup and the Champions League finals.
But Cahill said: "I want to make it quite clear that Harry has nothing to prove to anyone and if Liverpool don't want him then we'll have him.
"If Liverpool don't want him, there will be clubs lining up for him."
Kewell was jeered by Liverpool fans when he came off with a groin injury early in the Champions League final win against AC Milan - and he has since undergone surgery.
In contrast to Kewell's disappointment, Cahill had a magnificent first season at Everton after his 2m move from Millwall last summer.
But he remains a committed Kewell supporter, insisting: "He's been injured and I think he's been too honest in coming back too early and wanting to play for his club and wanting to do a job for Liverpool.
"The kid is a great footballer and everyone knows that.
"What he has done in the game speaks for itself. But sometimes things don't happen for you and I think Harry just needs a bit of a break and he'll definitely come back with flying colours.
"When you're injured, you're injured. You can't do anything about it, so I think it's easy to pick faults with players and look for scapegoats.
"I think 'H' just needs to enjoy his summer and come back next year fit."
Cahill is in Germany preparing for the Confederations Cup, with Kewell sidelined.
