Charlton Athletic reject offer from Championship club for star player

Charlton Athletic have rejected a bid from an unnamed Championship side for Macauley Bonne. The 24-year-old only made the move to The Addicks last summer, with Charlton paying Leyton Orient £200,000 for his services. Bonne had a successful debut season for Charlton, scoring 11 times in 33 Championship games. Following Charlton's 3-0 loss against West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday. Lee Bowyer confirmed that Bonne was not for sale. "That [offer for Bonne] happened and we turned it down," he said, per Louis Mendez. "We've gone back to them and said he's not for sale." The offer may have come from Preston North End. It has been reported that they were preparing a bid of around £500,000 for the Zimbabwean. Burnley have also been linked with a move. If he stay put this summer, Bonne will no doubt play a major role as Charlton attempt to bounce back to the Championship at the first time of asking.
