Tom Cleverley has confirmed that Plymouth Argyle have started discussions with Charlton Athletic regarding a permanent transfer for Alex Mitchell. The 24-year-old defender, who is currently on loan at Plymouth, joined in the summer and has made 25 appearances in League One after his selection priority was reduced under Nathan Jones at Charlton. Cleverley revealed that Plymouth hope to secure a permanent deal for the summer transfer window and that early conversations have begun. According to Plymouth Live, the manager praised Mitchell's impact both on the pitch and in the dressing room, adding that the club would like for him to be there next year, but noted that the immediate focus remains on the rest of the season.
