Addicks’ fans were alerted to ex-Love Island contestant Lewis’ involvement in training yesterday from pictures sent out by the club online.
Charlton boss Bowyer knows Lewis from his days helping out Watford‘s Under-21 side and is ready to seal a deal and bring the 23-year-old to the Valley.
Ipswich, Sunderland, Huddersfield, Oxford and Leyton Orient have all shown interest in the striker, who scored 14 and set up another 11 as Wealdstone won the National League title.
League One Charlton will hope 2019 reality TV show contestant Lewis can follow in the footsteps of Macauley Bonne, who has shone at Charlton since taking the plunge from non-league.
Meanwhile Preston are eyeing up a cut-price move for Charlton’s striker Macauley Bonne.
Alex Neil’s side, who finished four points off the play-off places, could make an opening bid of £500,000 plus add-ons next week.
Former Leyton Orient striker Bonne jumped three divisions last season but more than held his own in the Championship, scoring 11 goals.

As SunSport revealed earlier this week, the London club are facing being booted out of the EFL unless current owners ESI sell.
Preston see 24-year-old former non-League striker Bonne as a rough diamond with bags of potential.
