ROY Beerens has sealed a move to Reading FC.

The Hertha Berlin winger is set to make the switch to Madejski Stadium for around £500,000.

Beerens, 28, will have a medical later today and could be involved in tonight's friendly against Saudi Arabian top flight side Al-Taawoun FC at Arnhem Boys’ ground (6pm ko local time).

Beerens, who has impressed boss Jaap Stam on pre-season tour in Holland this week, will sign a three-year contract.

The Dutchman, who saw an earlier move to Stuttgart break down, becomes Reading's sixth signing of the summer following John Swift, Anssi Jaakkola, Joseph Mendes, Joey van den Berg and Danzell Gravenberch.

Stam has been busy rebuilding his squad after 10 of last season's first team, six of them loanees, departed in recent weeks including Aaron Tshibola to Aston Villa for £5 million.

Meanwhile, Reading will make a decision on whether to offer Gaston Campi a contract before the team returns from Holland to the UK tomorrow.

The 25-year-old Argentine defender, who plays for Buenos Aires-based Racing Club, has been on trial with the first-team squad all week and could also feature in tonight's friendly.

Reading have also had three bids for Southend United winger, Ben Coker, turned down and are being heavily linked with Middlesbrough's 23-year-old wideman, Adam Reach.
