• Pogrebnyak thought to be on £65,000-a-week deal
• Russia striker scored six goals in 12 games for Fulham
Reading have confirmed they have agreed personal terms with the Russia striker Pavel Pogrebnyak and are awaiting a work permit application to finalise the transfer.
The Reading manager Brian McDermott revealed earlier this week that a deal for Pogrebnyak had been struck, and after the player passed his medical the club say they anticipate that the deal will be completed in the coming days.
"Reading as agreed terms with Pavel Pogrebnyak to join the club," read a club statement. "The player has already completed a medical and the deal is now only subject to the player obtaining a UK work permit. Reading anticipate completing the signing within the next seven days."
Pogrebnyak is out of contract this summer and it has been reported Reading have offered him a four-year deal worth around £65,000 a week.
The 28-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham from the German side Stuttgart, scoring six goals in 12 appearances, but rejected the offer of a permanent deal with the Cottagers.
Confirmation of the deal comes a day after Reading secured the signing of the midfielder Danny Guthrie on a three-year contract. The 25-year-old former Newcastle player completed his medical yesterday and will formally complete the move on Sunday. Read More
