Jordan Rhodes chased by Reading

Reading boss Brendan Rodgers is ready to offer Huddersfield a 'double your money' bid for hot shot striker Jordan Rhodes.

Rodgers is prepared to pay over £600,000 for the teenage terror who has slammed in goals for Lee Clark's side since joining them from Roy Keane's Ipswich in the summer.

The Reading chief has been given money to spend on improvements for his team, who are at the wrong end of the Championship, and he thinks prolific Rhodes could be the answer to his problems.

However Clark is determined to keep Rhodes and there are other bigger clubs watching his progress already - with the level-headed prospect prepared to wait for his  chance.
