Arsenal youngster Benik Afobe is poised to join Championship promotion chasers Reading on loan until the end of the season.

Arsenal teenager Benik Afobe is expected to join Reading on loan for the rest of the season.

The England Under-19 international has apparently been targeted by Royals boss Brian McDermott, who is looking to add another striker to his squad.

Afobe has yet to play a senior game for the Gunners but manager Arsene Wenger is keen for him to sample some first-team football, according to Sky Sports News.

His previous loan spell at Huddersfield Town resulted in Afobe scoring five times in 28 appearances.
