Reading forward Yakou Meite hopes Matt Miazga will join the club permanently.

The American has impressed with Reading since joining on loan from Chelsea in January.

"These last six months, he has brought us a lot of stability," Meite toldGoal. "He has a good mentality and of course we want him to stay. But we know it will be complicated. He is aggressive, he talks a lot to the players, and he is a warrior.

"He has the same state of mind as those who started the fight for keeping the team in Championship. He could say this relegation battle was nothing really serious for him because he will go back to his club, but he has the same goal as all of us."
