Five English Premier League sides have joined the race to sign Zimbabwe international Macauley Bonne, according to The Sun, a UK newspaper.

Leicester City are said to be leading the chase for the Leyton Orient hotshot. Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Fulham and Huddersfield are also keen on Bonne, who is valued in the region of £500k.

Championship clubs Norwich, Stoke, Nottingham Forest, QPR and Sheffield United all have the striker on their radar too.

The 23-year-old has scored 17 goals already for the National League leaders this season. He netted 25 goals last season after joining Orient from Colchester.
