Macauley Bonne was linked with Bolton Wanderers ahead of transfer deadline day but reportedly saw a loan move to Charlton Athletic fall through.
Wanderers were in the conversation regarding Bonne as were several other League One clubs. As deadline day wore on, it looked as though the forward was set to move to the Valley.
The Whites were unable to bring in further reinforcements on the final day of the transfer window. They take on Charlton at the University of Bolton Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

But London News Online reports the deal fell through in the end. Though the player in question was not named, Charlton owner Thomas Sandgaard issued a statement explaining why the move did not come to pass.
“He said: It has been a busy few days and we were very confident of bringing in another striker before the deadline. The whole recruitment team - myself, Steve [Gallen], Martin [Sandgaard] and Ben [Garner] - have been working tirelessly to get this last deal completed.
“We thought we were there and the player had passed his medical at our training ground on Thursday evening, but unfortunately there were complications beyond our control late in the day, which went down to the last minute, and we haven’t been able to sign the player.
“With players departing the club on loan, that frees up some space in the squad and we’ll now have a further look at options in the free agent market.
“Despite not getting a striker in, we have a very good squad in place and an excellent manager, as our early-season performances have shown. The whole group are focused on the coming months and doing the best they can for the club.”
