Director Of Football Nick Hammond has confirmed that the Club is stepping up its efforts in the transfer market as the start of pre-season training approaches.
The Royals are back in pre-season training this Thursday, and Nick told readingfc.co.uk, "We have identified a number of players and are now actively looking to recruit those targets."
The newspaper rumour mill has linked the Royals with both Rennes defender John Mensah and Sunderland's Dean Whitehead, but Nick said, "We do not want to comment on individuals, but I can confirm that we are pursuing some players."
So far this season the Royals have finalised new contracts with Stephen Hunt and Chris Makin, as well as coaches Kevin Dillon and Wally Downes.
Nigel Gibbs has joined as a new coach, while Stephen Brown has become our new ProZone video analyst.
John Oster and Jonathan Hayes are in discussion about new deals, while youngsters Scott Davies, Ben Hamer and Pierre Joseph-Dubois should sign soon.

Stepping up is not good enough. Anyway to keep us amused I took these rumours off a website. Some of these are laughable but have been doing the rounds for a few days now and the same names keep cropping up.
Reading will sign Arsenal wonderkid Carlos Vela on a season long loan deal.
Bas Savage could sign for Reading for a fee of £550, 000 along with Andy Hughes for £1.2 million.
Reading will sign Francisco Javier Yeste (£6.5m) and Pablo Orbaiz (£3.7m) from Athletic Bilbao and Guiza (loan) from Getafe
Reading will complete the signing of South African forward Lebohang Mokoena from Orlando Pirates for £850, 000.
Reading transfers:
IN:
John Mensah- £3.85 Million
Helder Postiga- £2.5 Million
Pablo Orbaiz- £4.8 Million
Carlos Vela- Loan
OUT:
Steve Sidwell- Charlton- £2.4 Million
Jonny Hayes- Burnley- Loan
John Oster- Southend- £100, 000
