Sky Sports sources understand Reading are set to pull off a coup by signing Russian striker Pavel Pogrebnyak on a four-year contract.

Pogrebnyak spent the second half of last season at Fulham, after joining from Stuttgart, and scored six goals in 12 Premier League appearances.

The 28-year-old had been in talks regarding a permanent contract at Craven Cottage after expressing a desire to remain in English football.

However, it appears Pogrebnyak has been unable to reach a deal with Fulham and he is now poised to sign for Championship winners Reading.

The Royals were taken over by Russian businessman Anton Zingarevich towards the end of last season and he is set to welcome his compatriot to the Madejski Stadium.

Reading boss Brian McDermott is keen to improve his squad following the club's return to the top flight and has already brought in Garath McCleary from Nottingham Forest.

The addition of Pogrebnyak to his ranks would be a notable capture and it is understood the deal is close to being finalised.

Exactly. If this was Southampton signing him we'd all be jealous and questioning why we can't get these sort of players

Typical Reading fans, never happy, always moaning.

Pogrebnyak on a free or 7mill on the championships Jay Rodriguez.

Pog all the time for me, as long as it is MCD's signing.

Pisses all over the Jay Rodriguez capture.

He has an army of fans in Russia. Will really increase our media attention. Oh and he's good, really good.
