Reading FC are set to finally complete the signing of Naby Sarr once George Puscas finalises a move away from the club.
Following Reading’s win over Middlesbrough, Royals boss Paul Ince confirmed that Puscas is on his way to seal a move to Italian side Genoa.
That means that Reading will now be given clearance from the EFL to sign Sarr, who has been training with the Royals for several weeks ahead of a move.
Ince also confirmed that the club are in talks to try and sign left-back Baba Rahman.
Chelsea full-back Rahman spent last season on loan with Reading and played 29 Championship games.
Ince also stated that striker Lucas Joao is ‘going nowhere’ after reports emerged that West Bromwich Albion are interested in signing the player.
Sarr, who has also played for Lyon, Sporting Lisbon and Charlton Athletic, helped Huddersfield to reach the play-offs final last season before they lost out to Nottingham Forest.
Sarr played 41 times and scored four goals in his first season for the Terriers in 2020/21 and last campaign he made 18 Championship appearances and scored three goals.
His final appearance for Huddersfield came at Wembley in the play-off final where he started the match and completed 57 minutes as the Terriers narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League.
