Southampton striker Billy Sharp is keen on a permanent deal with Reading.
His loan with Reading will expire next month.
Sharp said: "I know I haven't got a future at Southampton, so I want to do the best I can in the next few weeks for Reading, and hopefully speak to the gaffer to see what we can come up with.
"I want to get settled and be loyal to a football club. I don't want to keep moving around.
"By settled I mean I want to know where I'm going to be, so I can get my head down, get the family happy and then continue on with my football.
"I just want to be part of the squad to help us be successful."
