Reading are looking to loan Leeds United midfielder Jamie Shackleton, according to reports.
The 22-year-old has grown up through the Academy at Elland Road and has made almost 80 appearances for the Premier League outfit.
Used just once following the mid-season arrival of Jesse Marsch, the Whites are prepared to let the England Under-20s international leave on a temporary basis.
According to FootyInsiders, Paul Ince has targeted the versatile midfielder to bolster the ranks.
Key midfielder Josh Laurent, Andy Rinomhota and John Swift have all departed RG2 over the summer, leaving Dejan Tetek as the most senior central player.
There is now less than a month until the season gets underway, with pre-season matches starting as early as the weekend.
