Prospective Reading owner Zingarevich pinching himself over promotion

Reading's prospective owner Anton Zingarevich is excited to be taking over the club as a Premier League identity.

He hopes to finally complete his takeover imminently, revealed planning for life in the top flight is already under way with plans for player recruitment and a potential extension to the 24,000-capacity Madejski Stadium in hand.

He told BBC Radio Berkshire: "The Premier League is where you want to be as a football club owner.

"I think there is a lot to develop here, but the infrastructure that is already in place is key.

"We have already started looking at upgrading the Academy and the training facilities.

"If we stay up the first year, then we will upgrade the stadium. There are a lot of things to do, but there is a lot of potential."
