Medical today: Charlton Athletic agree deal for Macauley Bonne – sources
Former QPR centre-forward Macauley Bonne is having medical ahead of a return to Charlton Athletic, sources have told Football Insider.
Bonne, 27, is a free agent after having his contract terminated by QPR earlier this week.
The striker is set to join Dean Holden’s side on a deal until the end of the season.
The former Zimbabwe international made eight appearances for QPR this season, but all of those came from the bench and amounted to less than 60 minutes on the pitch in total.
He did not feature in any of the West London side’s last six matchday squads.
Bonne spent one full season at The Valley in 2019-20, netting 11 times in 33 appearances as they were relegated to League One.
He began his career at Colchester United and has also turned out for Leyton Orient as well as loan spells at Lincoln City, Woking and Ipswich Town.
Suitors Charlton Athletic, who lost 3-0 against Man United in Tuesday’s (10 January) League Cup quarter-final, are currently 12th in the third tier.
Football Insider revealed on Tuesday (10 January) that the Addick are leading the race to sign 24-year-old Blackburn Rovers defender Tayo Edun on loan.
Sources have also told this site on 31 December last year that Charlton have submitted a bid for Rotherham United midfielder Shane Ferguson, 31.
Watford centre-back Mattie Pollock is, as revealed by Football Insider on Wednesday (11 January), also on their radar.
