Reading are set to see at least two players leave the club on transfer deadline day, football.london understands.

Leandro Bacuna and Yakou Meite are both set to leave Reading in surprising moves today (Thursday), with both closing in on completing their departures before the transfer deadline at 11pm this evening.

Bacuna looks set to join Premier League strugglers Cardiff City, while Meite is set to complete a move back to France on loan.

It is understood that Bacuna has travelled to the Welsh capital for his medical ahead of a move worth a reported £3million, while Meite returned to France earlier this week to finalise a deal, which is believed to be with Amiens SC in Ligue 1.

Bacuna, 27, has featured 28 times so far this season for Reading, scoring three goals, but it is understood that Reading are willing to sell him at the right price.

Meanwhile, Meite has scored seven goals in 18 games for Royals this season, but the 22-year-old has not featured for Reading since the 2-0 defeat against Manchester United in the FA Cup on January 5 due to injury.
