Wells’ Huddersfield Town teammate Danny Williams arrived from Reading earlier this summer.

Reading are eyeing a move for Huddersfield Town striker Nahki Wells, according to The Mirror.

Wells scored 10 goals in 47 appearances last season, which ended with Huddersfield beating Reading to promotion via the Championship play-offs.

But the 27-year-old’s place looks to be under threat following the arrivals of Steve Mounie and Laurent Depoitre this summer, and he could be on his way back to the second tier after entering the final year of his Terriers contract.

Reading are desperate for reinforcements in attack, having lost Yann Keromorgant to injury, and are said to have fallen short in their attempts to prise Nelson Oliveira and Tomer Hemed from Norwich City and Brighton & Hove Albion respectively.

They will hope to fare better with Wells, however, who has scored 45 goals in 144 appearances at Championship level.

Should he move to Reading, Wells would follow in the footsteps of fellow Bermudan Shaun Goater, who spent two seasons at the Madejski Stadium towards the end of his career, scoring 12 goals in 43 appearances.
