Mathieu Manset's move to Championship club Reading will be one of the biggest deals in Hereford United's history.

Sources indicate that the 13-goal striker will be signing on at the Madjeski Stadium this afternoon.

The Hereford Times understands that there is no loan deal and that Manset will be involved in Reading's home match against Hull City tomorrow.

A source close to the deal told the Hereford Times that Manset's move - complete with add-ons - would be as big, if not bigger, than the one that took Darren Peacock from Edgar Street to Queens Park Rangers.
