Koroma has been in excellent form and Aston Villa were reportedly keen.
TeamTalk have claimed that Aston Villa have lost out to Premier League side Huddersfield Town in the pursuit of Leyton Orient forward Josh Koroma.
Despite being just 20 years of age, Koroma is a regular with the National League side and has been in excellent form this season, scoring nine goals and creating seven more.
He has already clocked up 85 senior appearances for his side in his short career, and is also able to play out wide though he is naturally a centre-forward.
His excellent form had attracted interest from Villa as well as Championship rivals Derby County and Middlesbrough, but it seems as though Huddersfield have won the race to lure Koroma to the Premier League.
Koroma made his debut under former Newcastle United, Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United captain Kevin Nolan, and scored a hat-trick in March 2017 during a 4-0 win over Newport County.
Nothing has been confirmed of yet, but the report states that after allowing Rajiv van La Parra to join Boro, Huddersfield have acted quickly to replace the Dutchman with Koroma.
