Liverpool defender Tiago Ilori wanted by Reading as Jaap Stam eyes January signings for promotion push

Liverpool defender Tiago Ilori is wanted by Reading.

The 23-year-old centre-back has made just three first team appearances for Liverpool since signing from Sporting Lisbon for £7million in 2013.

The Portugal U23 international has had loan spells with Granada, Bordeaux and Aston Villa and Jaap Stam believes his ability on the ball can help strengthen Reading's push for promotion from the Championship.
