Dominic Samuel is on the verge of a move to Blackburn Rovers, according to reports.
Reports have surfaced on social media suggesting the Reading frontman will join the Ewood Park outfit on Wednesday.
Samuel enjoyed a stint with Coventry City on loan in 2014-15.
And the striker will link up with ex-Sky Blues boss Tony Mowbray at the League One side.
The third tier club have reportedly made a £500,000 offer to Reading for the 23-year-old striker, as we previously reported.

This saw off rival clubs Barnsley and Ipswich Town to secure Samuel's signature.
Samuel was brought to the Ricoh Arena on loan from Reading in January 2015, by then-manager Steven Pressley.

The Scotsman was relieved of his duties just a month after Samuel arrived at the club, but the talented forward continued to flourish under the stewardship of Tony Mowbray.
He made 13 appearances for the Sky Blues during the second half of the 2014/15 season, scoring six goals and quickly becoming a fans' favourite for his exciting play.
Mowbray is clearly an admirer of Samuel, and it now appears increasingly likely that the Rovers boss will be reunited with his former striker.
