Reading striker Pavel Pogrebnayk has no doubts about the quality of his new teammates.

Pogrebnyak benefited from playing alongside the likes of Mousa Dembele and Clint Dempsey during his time at Fulham, but he feels Reading have the quality in their squad to cement a top flight standing.

"Anyone can see how well Clint and Mousa are playing at Tottenham," he said.

"They are both great players and it is easy to play as a striker with them. Unfortunately Reading don't have players like them so we have to work hard and look to improve all the time.

"We are concentrating on avoiding relegation and I don't think that is anything to be ashamed of because the Premier League is the best in the world."
