Sky Bet Championship side Reading are interested in a loan move for Torino striker Facundo Lescano, reports HITC Sport. 

Clarke is prepared to utilise youth
Clarke is keen to add more players to his squad

The 18-year-old has been the star of the Serie A side's youth team last season, scoring 13 goals as they won the Italian youth title, and now the club are keen to send him out on loan to aid his development.

Sheffield Wednesday were linked with a move for the Argentine forward but the rumours amounted to nothing.

Reading finished a disappointing 19th in the Championship last season and struggled for most of the season, but their FA Cup run gave the Royals fans something to cheer about.

Manager Steve Clarke has lost key players this summer in Alex Pearce, Jem Karacan and Adam Federici - all on free transfers.

He has moved quickly to sign Hull City duo Paul McShane and Stephen Quinn along with two new goalkeepers Jonathan Bond and Ali Al-Habsi.

Former Fulham striker Orlando Sa joined from Legia Warsaw in order to boost his striker department after being one of the lowest scorers in the league last campaign.

Reading fans will be hoping for a massive improvement in their league form this coming season, and most will be hoping for at least a top 10 finish.
