Reading plot Dame N'Doye bid

Reading are said to be preparing a bid for Copenhagen striker Dame N'Doye.

The 27-year-old Senegal international has also attracted reported interest from Newcastle United and Everton.

However, the Royals are poised to steal a march on their rivals by lodging a £6m bid for the player, according to The Mirror.

N'Doye has scored 59 goals in 104 appearances since joining Copenhagen from OFI Crete in 2009.
