Reading have endured a very tough 12 months that resulted in them only preserving their Championship status on the final day of the season.

This time last year they were gearing up for a play-off final and after that heartbreak things have gone downhill for the Royals.

Jaap Stam was sacked with the club in a relegation battle and Paul Clement came in and just about kept them up.

Given that, this summer feels huge for Reading as they look to get back to competing with the best in the division and in fairness they've made a good start bringing in Andy Yiadom from Barnsley.

However, a lot more additions and changes are needed at the club in the coming months.

Here we look at four issues they need to sort in the next few weeks...

Moore is the star man at Reading and has attracted interest from a lot of Premier League clubs.

Whilst keeping him is important, if the player wants a move or the fee is too good to turn down, players leave.

With Moore, Reading need to act quickly though. If he goes, get a good fee and search for a replacement as soon as possible. If they delay and delay, they could miss opportunities to replace him and end up panicking later in the window.

Reading's major issue last season was scoring goals, with winger Mo Barrow the only player to hit double figures.

Therefore, a striker is a priority and it's encouraging to see the club linked with a move for Viktoria Plzen's Michael Krmencik, who was top scorer in the Czech league as his side scooped the title.

Whether he is the answer or not remains to be seen, but Clement has to bring in at least one number nine to get the Royals firing.

The capture of Yiadom on a free was excellent business and Reading saw off a lot of competition to bring him in.

However, it does raise an issue about the future of Chris Gunter at the Berkshire club.

Will he stay as a sub? does Clement see him as a left-back? A decision will need to be made on his future and if he fits in.

Reading under Stam were all about possession but lacked any cutting edge this season.

Given that, the players were bought to suit his style and accustomed to his way of playing. Whilst Clement is by no means a long-ball manager, he is different to Stam.

Therefore, he needs to find out which players can adapt, which positions he needs to strengthen in and act quickly.
