Royals forward could join Dutch side on free transfer

Reading youngster Jacob Walcott will link up with FC Utrecht next week after being offered a trial by the Eredivisie club. The 20-year-old Royals trainee, the cousin of England and Arsenal winger Theo, spent time on loan in Holland last season with Telstar. The forward will now return to the Netherlands to train with the Utrecht reserves and could join the club on a free transfer. Utrecht technical director Foeke Booy told Voetbal International: "We weren't looking for attacking reinforcements but we will see if this player can enhance the squad. "He won't cost anything as he is available on a free transfer."
