Reading boss Jaap Stam is eyeing Brighton striker Tomer Hemed.
The Sun says the Royals have made a £4million bid for Hemed.
Royals boss Jaap Stam wants the Israel striker, 30, to lead the Royals' promotion bid next season and support Yann Kermorgant in attack.
Hemed scored 13 goals last season as Brighton secured a place in the Premier League.
However, Seagulls boss Chris Hughton will now weigh up whether to allow him to leave.
