Championship side Reading are reportedly close to securing the signature of Benfica winger Ola John.
The Daily Mail claims that the Royals will wrap up the signature of the 23-year-old before the transfer window closes.
However, the fee paid to the Primeira Liga outfit will be significantly less than the player's reported £24m buyout clause.
The 23-year-old Dutch midfielder made 26 appearances for Benfica last season, scoring three goals.
Reading have already confirmed the season-long loan signing of Chelsea forward Lucas Piazon.
