Arsenal starlet Benik Afobe will stay at Reading until the end of next season if the Royals are promoted.
The 19-year-old forward, who has yet to feature for the Gunners, moved to the Madejski Stadium last week and made an impressive debut in the 3-1 win over Blackpool on Saturday.
Brian McDermott's team currently occupy the second automatic promotion place in the Championship table and have a four-point lead over their closest rivals West Ham United.
If they maintain their position and earn a place in the Premier League, Arsene Wenger is keen for Afobe to remain in Berkshire in order to gain some valuable top-flight experience, according to The Sun.
Afobe spent most of last season on loan at Huddersfield Town, where he scored eight goals in 35 appearances.
