Reading are leading the race to sign AFC Wimbledon striker Joe Pigott, according to Sky sources.

Pigott scored a career-best 18 goals last season as Wimbledon retained their Sky Bet League One status.

But it is understood Reading will need to offload fringe members of their squad to make room for the potential arrival of the 25-year-old.

Wimbledon will demand a six-figure fee for Pigott, who has scored 23 goals in 66 matches since joining from non-league side Maidstone in January 2018.
