Liverpool defender Tiago Ilori seals Reading move as Jaap Stam attempts to strengthen promotion bid

Tiago Ilori has completed his long-awaited move from Liverpool to Reading, the Championship club have confirmed.

The Portuguese centre-back joins Reading for a fee in the region of £3.75million and has signed a three-and-a-half year contract, tying him to the club until 2020.

Ilori has not made an appearance for Jurgen Klopp's side this season and played only three games for the German in the previous campaign, all in the FA Cup.

But he is likely to find plenty more opportunities at the Madejski Stadium with manager Jaap Stam hoping to rotate his squad.
