The Reading striker Danny Loader is said to have been close to joining Wolverhampton Wanderers in August.

The Reading manager Mark Bowen has confirmed that one of his players has received an offer from an unnamed club, amid talk of a move to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Express and Star claimed in August that the Reading striker Danny Loader was due to undergo a medical at Wolves, only for his club to ‘move the goalposts’, causing a deal to collapse.

And The Daily Mail reported last month that the Molineux side are planning a renewed bid in the January transfer window – with Manchester United also said to be interested.

“Danny Loader has received an offer and it’s now up to him and his representatives to decide what he wants to do,” Bowen told Berkshire Live earlier on Thursday.

Loader’s Reading contract is understood to expire at the end of the season, which would mean that the Royals risk losing him for next-to-nothing if they cannot sell him this winter.

The England Under-20 international has played 31 times for Reading, although he made only eight of those appearances this season.

Loader, who can play either as a central striker or out wide, would have Raul Jimenez, Patrick Cutrone, Diogo Jota and Adama Traore for competition at Wolves.
