Nottingham Forest winger Barrie McKay could be set to stay in the Championship, with Reading reportedly eyeing up the Scot.

Having fallen out of favour under Aitor Karanka at the City Ground, earlier this month McKay had seemed bound for Greece and a switch to Olympiacos.

The Greek giants, who - like the Reds - are owned by Evangelos Marinakis, were known to have taken a serious interest in the midfielder and reports suggested he had flown out for talks.

Last week however, it was claimed Olympiacos were becoming frustrated in their attempt to sign McKay and were preparing to move on to other targets.

The 23-year-old former Rangers man was said to be weighing up his options, due to interest from teams in Germany, Russia and England.

And now the Scottish Sun has reported Reading are among the clubs monitoring McKay’s situation, with the Royals said to be keen on the Scotland international.

Any move would bring an end to a difficult year at Forest for the player, who was signed last summer by then-manager Mark Warburton.

He has made 28 appearances for the Reds, but just four of those came under Karanka as McKay fell down the pecking order at the club.
