Report: Reading defender Liam Moore hands in transfer request

Reading defender Liam Moore has reportedly handed in a transfer request.

The 25-year-old, who arrived at the Madejski Stadium in 2016, is believed to have been the subject of bids from Brighton & Hove Albion this summer.

Reading have purportedly rejected three offers from Brighton, the latter said to involve an increased up-front payment of £8m, with a series of add-on payments.

According to Sky Sports News, Moore has let his club know that he wishes to seek pastures new amid the reported interest from the Premier League outfit.

Moore has spent two seasons with the Royals, playing a key role in the side that reached the Championship playoff final in 2016-17, and he has three years remaining on his existing deal.
