Macedonian striker Ilco Naumoski claims it is "99% certain" he will join Reading - but does not know whether the move will happen in January.
The 24-year-old has attracted interest from a number of clubs from around Europe but the Royals look to have won the battle for his signature.
Naumoski told Vreme: "It is 99 per cent certain that my next club will be Reading.
"The only thing that my club has to decide is will that happen during the winter transfer period or in the summer."
