Reading bid for Tomi Juric

Tomi Juric could be on his way to England, with a Swiss newspaper claiming Championship club Reading are preparing a late bid for the Socceroos striker.

FC Luzern's sporting director Remo Gaugler has confirmed the Swiss Super League outfit has received a "lucrative" offer for Juric, who only arrived at the club this season and has scored four goals in 17 appearances in all competitions.

England's midseason transfer window closes on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old striker joined Luzern on a two-year deal after one season with Roda JC in the Netherlands.

Juric hasn't played for Luzern since November after sustaining a knee injury but is back training with the club ahead of the Swiss Super League's resumption this weekend.
