Fourth Summer Signing<\/h2>\n

Tariqe Fosu becomes Karl Robinson’s<\/a>\u00a0fourth signing of the summer after the U’s brought in Kevin Berkoe<\/a>,\u00a0Sam Allardyce<\/a>\u00a0and Alex Gorrin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unlike Berkoe and Allardyce, who will likely feature in the U23 side, Fosu should slot straight into the first team.<\/p>\n

Fosu had been offered a new deal by the Addicks<\/a>. However, the winger rejected the opportunity to play for the newly promoted Championship side.<\/p>\n

Instead, the 23-year-old opted to reunite his relationship with former manager Robinson<\/a>, the man who brought him to the Valley two seasons ago.<\/p>\n

Oxford fought off interest from Rotherham United and Lincoln City respectively to sign the winger, according to Richard Cawley of the South London Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Life Before Oxford<\/h2>\n

Fosu began his career at Reading<\/a>, but in a three-year spell, he only made one appearance.<\/p>\n

He spent loan time at Fleetwood Town<\/a>, Accrington Stanley<\/a> and Colchester United<\/a>\u00a0before a permanent move to Charlton in 2017.<\/p>\n

During his time with the Addicks, the winger, who can also play in an attacking midfield role, scored 11 goals in 57 appearances.<\/p>\n

The winger’s best spell in South London came under Robinson, where he scored nine goals in his first season.<\/p>\n

Where Will Fosu Fit In?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
It is unknown where the 23-year-old will feature in Karl Robinson’s side. Given that Marcus Browne<\/a> and Jordan Graham<\/a> had finished their loan spells, he could play wide as a likely replacement.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That said, he could also feature in the number ten role behind the main striker.\u00a0 This is a position James Henry<\/a>, among others, have successfully achieved.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Oxford have also been linked with Motherwell midfielder\u00a0Chris Cadden, <\/a>who can also play centrally as well as in both wide positions. It’s likely that Cadden will follow\u00a0Alex Gorrin<\/a>\u00a0south.<\/div>\n
