Reading have confirmed the loan signing of 20-year-old Zane Monlouis on loan from Arsenal until the end of the season.
In the market for a defender after losing Tom Holmes, Nesta Guinness-Walker and Tom McIntyre earlier in the window, options were limited as the Royals are unable to offer much in the way of financial support.
20-year-old Monlouis has 14 appearances to his name for the Young Gunners, coached by former Reading chief Mehmet Ali, including a start in the 5-2 defeat at the SCL Stadium in the EFL Trophy.
A former England Under-17 and Under-15 international, the centre-back will push the likes of Tyler Bindon and Tom Holmes for the final chunk of the campaign.
He is the club's only incoming in January on deadline day, while Taylan Harris and Caylan Vickers both made Premier League moves to Luton Town and Brighton respectively.
