Town look set to miss out on signing Icelandic youngster Viktor Unnar Illugason. The 15-year-old striker, who has already made his senior debut for current club Breiðablik, will sign a scholarship deal with Reading later this month.

The Blues have taken Illugason on a number of trial spells, the most recent during pre-season, and were hopeful the Iceland U17 international would become an academy scholar at Playford Road in August.
