Danny Loader has Premier League clubs on high alert as he prepares to leave Reading.

The London Evening Standard says Loader is set to leave the club on a free transfer next month with several Premier League sides poised to make their move.

The 19-year-old, who was part of England Under-17's World Cup winning squad, has failed to agree new terms on a contract with the Royals.

Manchester United and Norwich City have been linked with the forward, while Wolves came close to signing the highly-rated teenager in the summer.

Now it seems Loader will have the pick of his next destination, although any club have snaps him up will be forced to hand over a compensation fee to Reading as he is under the age of 24.
