Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah is on the radar of Reading.
Chalobah has completed his loan with Burnley and was blocked from joining Bordeaux last week.
The Daily Mail says Watford and Ipswich have also made enquiries for the 20-year-old but Steve Clarke looks to have persuaded the England Under 21 international to join him at the Madejski Stadium.
Chalobah was poised to join Bordeaux on loan but was prevented by the FIFA three-club rule which determined he had already played for Chelsea and Burnley and could not join another top flight side.
