Reading are set to sign Liverpool defender Tiago Ilori today.

The Daily Star says Ilori is set to complete his protracted move to Reading today.

Royals chiefs agreed a £3.75m fee for Ilori, 23, last week and assistant manager Andries Ulderink claimed the deal was almost done.

The transfer has taken longer than expected to be rubber-stamped but Press Association reporter Simon Peach claims it is finally set to go through.

Peach tweeted: "Tiago Ilori's move from Liverpool to Reading set to - belatedly - be announced in the next day. Should be involved at Derby on Saturday."
