Ipswich Town are among six clubs trying to sign Reading striker Dominic Samuel before the close of the transfer window, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Samuel finds himself down the pecking order at Reading and the club are considering sending him out on loan.
Samuel, who has come through the ranks at Reading, has been forced to play a back-up in Jaap Stam’s side this season and he has scored just two goals.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed several stints out on loan in the last few seasons at Colchester, Dagenham & Redbridge, Coventry and Gillingham and with his first-team chances looking limited in the second half of the season, Reading are ready to sanction another loan spell for the forward.
News of his availability has alerted a number of clubs who are looking to bolster their attacking options before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
Ipswich are understood to be leading the chase for Samuel with Mick McCarthy determined to bring in a new striker to Portman Road.
Ipswich are hoping to beat off interest from their Championship rivals to land the former England Under-19 international.
