Shorey: Open to 'big four'

If a top four team says 'we want you', you'd be lying if you said you did not want to go.

England international Nicky Shorey has hinted he would be interested in leaving Reading, but only for one of the 'big four'.

Shorey has 18 months left on his current Reading contract, although he has, so far, turned down the chance to pen an extension at The Madejski.

The 26-year-old has now hinted that should Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal come knocking the chance would be too good to refuse.

However, while the former Leyton Orient ace remains with Reading he will continue to give 100 per cent to Steve Coppell's side.

"If a top four team says 'we want you', you'd be lying if you said you did not want to go," stated Shorey.

"You want to test yourself at the best, everyone does, but while I'm at ready I'll continue to do my best."
