Reading are on the verge of completing the signing of Udo Nwoko after the midfielder underwent a medical at the Madejski Stadium.
The Royals are said to be close to agreeing a deal - believed to be in the region of £550,000 plus added incentives - for the Malta international who currently plays for Portuguese club Leixoes.
Nwoko, 23, is thought to have agreed a three-year contract with Reading boss Steve Coppell and Leixoes president Carlos Oliveira has now confirmed that the deal is close to completion.
"The deal is practically closed," Oliveira told Skysports.com.
And Nwoko, who has made three appearances for Malta, has admitted he is looking forward to the prospect of playing in the Premier League.
"I know the Premier League from the television and it would be sensational to play there," Nwoko added.
"I am very excited and Reading is a fighter club which is perfect for my style of play."
