da 888casino: According to talkSPORT, Sheffield United are interested in bringing Macauley Bonne to Bramall Lane next season.
The 23-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic season at Leyton Orient netting 23 goals in the National League, but you have to question any newly-promoted side that chooses to shop around non-league football.
Bonne’s season
The Zimbabwe international has proven over the last two years that he is one of the most potent strikers in the National League.
This season he found the back of the net more than 20 times for the second season running, so he knows how to score.
Whether or not that skill can translate in the Premier League remains to be seen, but it is a tough ask.
Strange signing
What on earth is Chris Wilder thinking when looking in the National League for strikers?
The Blades are headed to the Premier League. They should be able to cough up the funds to sign a top-class striker rather than scouring the bargain basement.
Indeed, there have been players who have come from outside the EFL who have made an impact in the top leagues, namely Jamie Vardy and Rickie Lambert, but those are few and far between.
Bonne’s record when he has played at a higher level doesn’t make for great reading either. Three goals in 33 games in League One with Colchester in the 2015/16 season is poor, and for the Yorkshire club to look at making him their first signing after promotion is baffling.
Perhaps this is a sign that Wilder is looking towards bringing in a backup striker rather than a new starter, meaning that the partnership of Billy Sharp and David McGoldrick will be given a chance in the top flight.

The Blades have also recently been linked to Gary Madine and Lee Gregory which supports this idea that they want to add depth up front rather than displace their current partnership.
