Josh Stokes of Bristol City is reportedly a potential transfer target for Reading following a successful loan spell in League One with Stockport County, where he was involved in their promotion effort. The 22-year-old English attacking midfielder, who can also play on either wing, has two years remaining on his contract with the Robins, so a fee would be necessary to sign him. Stokes, who signed for his parent club in 2024 from Aldershot Town, has also previously been on loan at Cambridge United. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €400k.
