Reading are reportedly in line to re-sign Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah on loan.
The England Under-21 international spent the latter half of last season with the Championship outfit after failing to break into Burnley’s first-team during a similar loan stint at Turf Moor last term.
The 20-year-old, who has been with Chelsea since the age of 10, scored one goal in 20 appearances in all competitions for Steve Clarke’s Royals last season.
However; Chalobah is once again low down in Blues boss Jose Mourinho’s pecking order of midfielders at Stamford Bridge, meaning he is expected to re-join the Madejski Stadium oufit on another loan deal.
