Reading have signed French forward Yakou Meite from Paris St Germain on a three-year contract.

Meite, 20, who made his first-team debut for PSG last season, can play on either wing or as a central striker.

"He has a great left foot, good technique, good physique, pace - all together he is a promising young player," Reading boss Jaap Stam told the Sky Bet Championship club's official website.

"He comes from a big team in Europe in Paris St Germain and we are hopeful he can be a good player for us going forward."
