Reading are interested in taking Chelsea defender Islam Feruz on loan in January, according to reports.
The 17-year-old moved to Stamford Bridge from Celtic last year after failing to agree a professional contract with the Scottish Premier League side.
Feruz has since impressed in Chelsea's youth team and he also scored twice for Scotland's Under-21 side against Portugal last week.
According to Clubcall, such performances have attracted the interest of Reading and Brian McDermott is believed to be ready to make a move for the defender in January.
Reading could face competition from Barcelona and Sporting Lisbon for Feruz's signature.
