Reading FC favourite linked with Belgium giants as contract runs down

Arriving in 2016, the Ivorian is one of the longest-serving players in the squad and is a real fan favourite.

With over 150 appearances to his name, the former PSG youngster enjoyed three successive seasons of 10+ goals as he became a fulcrum of the side.

Unfortunately, injuries have limited the 26-year-old's involvement in recent seasons.

Meite has three goals to his name this season under Paul Ince, but he is among a plethora of players who's contract runs out at the end of the season.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the 10-time Belgian top-flight champions Standard Liege are looking to "strengthen in various offensive sectors" and "appreciate Yakou Meite."

Rotherham United and Republic of Ireland international Chiedozie Ogbene is another reported target- with his contract also up in July.

Ogbene has eight goals for the Millers this season, attracting plenty of attention in January.
