Bikey on verge of Royals move
By Andrew Scurr - Created on 25 Aug 2006
Lokomotiv Moscow defender Andre Bikey appears set to make his 'dream' move to The Premiership by joining Reading on a season-long loan deal.
The 21-year-old had a spell on trial with The Royals earlier in the month and despite being sent off in a friendly against Orgryte IS, Steve Coppell had hinted at the possibility of bringing the stopper to the club.
However, Bikey's chances of a permanent switch to England were harmed by the red card, with Coppell preferring to test out his temperament during a loan spell.
The Cameroon defender has flown to England to undergo a medical and rubber stamp his loan switch.
Bikey is hoping to establish himself in the Reading starting line-up on a regular basis during his season at the club and could make his switch to the Madejski Stadium permanent if he impresses.
"I have dreamed of playing in a serious league like England for a long time so I am heading for Reading with serious intent to establishing a place in the first team," Bikey told Russian newspaper Sport Express.
