Aaron Tshibola: Attracting interest from a number of clubs

Reading have rejected two bids from an undisclosed club for Norwich, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Celtic target Aaron Tshibola, sources have told TEAMtalk.

A number of British clubs are all chasing Tshibola this summer as they look to bolster their midfield options.

Tshibola, who has come through the ranks at Reading, made 16 appearances last season and was a regular in the side before cruelly seeing his campaign cut short by injury.

The former England youth international was forced to undergo surgery on a hamstring problem in February to rule him out for the remainder of the campaign, but he is now back to full fitness.

One of Tshibola’s suitors are keen to beat off rivals to the player’s signature and have tabled two £1million plus offers for the 21-year-old which have been rejected by Reading.

Reading are reluctant to lose Tshibola this summer with new boss Jaap Stam looking to build a side capable of challenging for promotion, but they bracing themselves for further offers.
