Reading have signed striker Kwesi Appiah on loan from Crystal Palace for the rest of the season.
Appiah is the Royals' second loan signing in 24 hours, with Nathan Ake having signed from Chelsea on Wednesday, while boss Steve Clarke has loaned out Danny Guthrie and Jake Taylor.
"When I looked at our bench during the game at Charlton it was obvious that without Simon Cox and Yakubu we were light on attacking options," said Clarke.
"When the opportunity arose to bring Kwesi here until the end of the season I felt it was the right thing to do.
"Kwesi is a striker with different attributes to those already at the club. He hasn't had too many opportunities since returning to Palace after a successful African Cup of Nations tournament with Ghana and we are hopeful that he will enhance his growing reputation while helping us to finish the season positively."
