Charlton have signed defender Tennai Watson and brought in Udinese defender James Abankwah and Luton midfielder Louie Watson on season-long loan deals.
Full-back Watson, 26, has signed a two-year contract with the League One club following his departure from MK Dons earlier this summer.
Hatters man Watson, 22, featured nine times in all competitions last season.
Fellow Republic of Ireland Under-21 international Abankwah, 19, has played twice in Italy's Serie A for Udinese.
The centre-back, who can also operate at right-back, signed for the Italian club from St Patrick's Athletic in January 2022 but spent the final few months of the 2021-22 campaign back on loan with the League of Ireland Premier Division side.
Charlton have signed 10 players during the summer transfer window.
"Tennai is a young defender with all the attributes we are looking for in a full-back," Addicks technical director Andy Scott told the club website.
"We have had a number of injuries in our midfield area and so the acquisition of Louie will complement the group well and give us more strength in depth.
"James is a player that I watched a number of years ago in Ireland and I have followed his career ever since."

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
