Reading have been told to make a move for former player Michael Hector in a bid to strengthen their side before the transfer window closes.

The Royals are yet to make a signing this summer as they're currently in the midst of a takeover, but time is starting to run out if Ruben Selles is to strengthen his side.

Reading have made an excellent start to the season given their constraints, and if Selles was to strengthen his squad with some experience and quality, there's no reason why they couldn't be in contention to compete at the top of League One.

There are still plenty of free agents on the market who would make suitable signings for Reading, and one of these suitable signings could be central defender Hector, who will be a very familar face to the Royals' faithful.

Our Reading fan pundit, Johnny Hunt, believes that Jamaican international Hector would be a suitable addition to Selles' squad this summer and would bring a wealth of experience to the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

Speaking to Football League World, Jonny said: "One player that would be good to have around the club would be someone like Michael Hector.

“I think the club have got their eyes on players and I think that things will happen towards the end of the window.”

Michael Hector would be an excellent addition for Reading

Hector will be a familar face to Reading fans, having come through the Royals' academy before playing for the club for six years, making 93 appearances, before joining Chelsea in 2015.

The defender also spent a season on loan with the club during the 2015/16 season, and has amassed a wealth of League One and EFL experience since leaving the Royals.

Now 32, Hector still has a lot to offer, and he spent the last 18 months at Charlton Athletic in League One, where he played 53 games in total, including 36 in all competitions last season.

This shows that he's a player who is still capable of playing at this level, and perhaps a move back to Berkshire to where his professional career started would appeal to Hector.

The Jamaican international has a wealth of experience, meaning he would be a leader in Selles' squad, and players of his calibre are always needed in successful squads.
