Agbonlahor And Washington Reportedly Reject Reading FC

We all know that Reading want a striker, and with the clock ticking on the summer transfer window, it appears that the club made a late attempt to woo ex-Aston Villa attacker Gabriel Agbonlahor. Still technically on the West Midlands' side's books, the 29-year-old was suspended twice in April and stripped off the captaincy, too.

The news comes from BBC journalist Pat Murphy, via our friends at The Two Unfortunates, with the tweet below suggesting that it was Agbonlahor who shunned the Royals. Would he have been a good signing? Well, cast aside in a failing Villa side, he's only beaten six goals in one season of the past six.

According to @patmurphybbc on Five Live, Gabby Agbonlahor turned down #readingfc today

Meanwhile, Conor Washington was a big target for Reading back in January and has since floundered at Queens Park Rangers, but the Northern Irish forward has turned down a number of clubs on deadline day, including Jaap Stam's side, according to the Daily Mail.

Alas, it seems that the club have shut up shop with regards to incomings, if GetReading's Charles Watts is to be believed, with the only business completed on August 31 being the loan exit of Jack Stacey, and Tarique Fosu's temporary move to Colchester.

Still over 4 hours to go but sources tell me there will be no additions. Couldn't get main targets - and won't panic into others #readingfc
