Rhodes set for Reading medical

Huddersfield Town Transfer Rumoursby Jamie
.This rumour was doing the rounds on Twitter yesterday, and I now have it on pretty good authority that Jordan Rhodes is set to undergo a medical at Reading, after a deal has been reached between them and Town. Not sure of the details of the agreement but I’d expect to hear something either later today or first thing on Monday.
It will come as no huge surprise to Town fans that Rhodes is leaving, but the real question is who we will be bringing in to replace him. I’m pretty certain Sean Morrison will be involved in the deal, and he will be our first choice centre-back next season, but I’ve not heard anything concrete about any other players coming our way (from Reading). So that means that Grayson will be heading into the transfer market to splash the cash on a quality goalscorer to replace Rhodes, and probably a few other players at the same time!
Assuming this Rhodes news is true, I’m obviously very disappointed to see him leave. He’s probably the best striker I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing at Town, and he pretty much single-handedly took us to promotion last season. I won’t witter on too much as the deal hasn’t been confirmed yet.
