Reading have agreed a deal to take Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban on loan until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old had been linked with a move to Leeds United, but will now link up with promotion rivals Reading.

Jaap Stam's Royals sit third in the Championship table, one point ahead of fourth-placed Leeds.

Grabban has not featured for Bournemouth in the Premier League since appearing as a substitute in the first three matches of the campaign.

The forward is in his second spell with Bournemouth, after re-signing for the club last January in a £7m deal on a three-and-a-half-year deal following an 18-month spell with Norwich City, but has yet to find the net since returning to The Vitality Stadium.
