Reading chasing Auxerre striker

Reading are chasing Auxerre striker Alain Traoré, according to talkSPORT.

The 23-year old forward is seeking a move away from the French side who were relegated to Ligue 2 and the Premier League appears to be the Burkina-Faso international’s preferred destination. Fellow Premier League sides Stoke and West Brom are also keen on the pacey striker.

Traoré has scored 14 goals in 49 appearances for Auxerre, which also earned interest from Newcastle in October last year. Royals boss Brian McDermott appears keen to sign another striker but does his team need another striker? With five recognised strikers in Pogrebnyak, Roberts, Hunt, Le Fondre and Church, do the Royals need another forward?
