Reading fans have taken to Twitter to react to the rumours about the Royals keen on signing Gary Hooper.
Hooper, 31, was released by Sheffield Wednesday in the summer but, according to Acura Sports News, former Owls boss Carlos Carvalhal has recommended to Jose Gomes to sign the front man.
I'll quite happily take Gary Hooper if he's willing to chip in with his own subs each week.
