Dave Kitson is on the brink of a move from Reading to Stoke, according to Sky Sports News.

The 28-year-old striker has been linked with a move away from the Madejski Stadium since the Royals were relegated from the Premier League in May.

And he now looks set to be back in the top flight for the start of the new campaign.

Promoted Stoke have identified Kitson as somebody who could add firepower to their squad.

He is expected to finalise the transfer on Friday morning and complete a £5million move to the Britannia Stadium.

Kitson scored 54 goals for Reading in 135 appearances, after joining from Cambridge United in 2003.
