Championship club Reading have signed French forward Joseph Mendes for an undisclosed fee from French second-tier side Le Havre.

The 25-year-old has agreed a two-year contract at the Madejski Stadium.

Mendes, who is Reading's third signing of the summer, scored nine goals in 24 league starts for Le Havre in 2015-16.

"He can play in a central role as a striker or in a wider forward position, so he gives us good options," Reading boss Jaap Stam told the club website.
