Reading are set to end their long hunt for a striker by bringing in Lewis Grabban on loan. According to numerous sources, the 29-year-old will join the club on loan until the end of the season.
The story was first run by the Bournemouth Echo, before other outlets started to confirm it:

Lewis Grabban was told this morning he could leave Bournemouth on-loan - a number of clubs came in, but Reading are getting him.

One of those teams was apparently Leeds United, but Phil Hay at the Yorkshire Evening Post claimed Reading are ahead of the Yorkshire side in the race.
