HITC – READING, HITC Sport understands Reading are eyeing a move for Iran midfielder Saeid Ezatolahi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading are lining up a deal for Iran’s World Cup midfielder Saeid Ezatolahi, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.<\/p>\n

Royals boss Paul Clement is desperate to add some strength to his squad after a disappointing start to the new Championship season.<\/p>\n

Reading are second from bottom of the table after failing to win any of their opening five games and Clement wants to add some steel and power to his midfield.<\/p>\n

Clement has targeted a move for giant midfielder Ezatolahi, who was once on the books of Spanish side Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old is currently plying his trade in Russia with Rostov, but he has spent the last couple of seasons out on loan.<\/p>\n

Ezatolahi, who made two appearances for Iran during the World Cup, joined Rostov from Atletico Madrid in January 2016.<\/p>\n

However, he has hardly played for Rostov having been farmed out on loan to Anzhi Makhachkala and Amkar Perm during the last 18 months.<\/p>\n

Ezatolahi is entering the final year of his contract at Rostov and Reading are ready to offer him a move to England initially on loan with an option to become permanent in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
