Reading have signed Estonia goalkeeper Karl Hein on loan from Arsenal until the end of the season.

Hein has won 12 caps for his country, the last coming in a 1-0 World Cup qualifying defeat by Wales in October.

He was on the bench for Arsenal's Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg loss to Liverpool on Thursday.

"Karl is an international goalkeeper with good temperament, obvious ability and the hunger to improve and impress," manager Veljko Paunovic told the club website.

Hein is a replacement for Rafael Cabral, who had his Royals' contract cancelled by mutual consent last week.
