Reading boss Coppell calm over Everton, Newcastle target Lita

Reading boss Steve Coppell is calm over the future of Leroy Lita.

Lita scored in last night's 4-0 victory over Watford and is a target for Everton and Newcastle United.

Coppell said: "It's no headache for me to have four strikers, I can assure you of that.

"It's a nice position to be in, my strikers are uncomfortable which is what I want. Noel Hunt and Kevin Doyle both scored but so did Leroy so they can't relax.

"Leroy always gets a great reception here. I have no plan as such with him.

"He just wants to play football but I have two strikers who are in form and scoring goals so in the short term he is not going to start for us."
