Boss Steve Coppell does not envisage the Royals signing any more players while we are out in Sweden for our week-long pre-season tour.

Noel Hunt is jetting out to our summer base after signing from Dundee United, and Steve says there may be a little delay before more deals can be done.

Speaking to our online TV station Reading World, Steve said, "It's probably unlikely, because we have been looking at this Noel Hunt situation for the past few weeks quite seriously and the timing was right for it to happen.

"It's unlikely while we're out here that anything else will happen - but you never know. It does change just on a phone call sometimes.

"You can get the domino effect, one move somewhere might just lead to something happening our way."
