Some of the far-east press are suggesting that former Hereford United striker Mathieu Manset could be about to move from Reading to Shenhua.
UPDATE 1pm: The Hereford Times have reported that Manset has agreed to the move.
This from ABC Radio Australia:
Chinese football club Shenhua is poised to sign French striker Mathieu Manset on a half-year contract worth $US1.2-million.
The deal, expected to be signed soon, would see Manset play alongside French striker Nicolas Anelka, who arrived in China last week to play for Shenhua - the most high-profile foreign footballer ever to sign for the Chinese league.
Manset, 22, is currently on the roster of Championship club Reading and will reportedly be loaned off to Shenhua for six months.
The short-term contract is designed to give Manset a chance to play in the Premier League -- the top of the British football league system -- next season, the official Shanghai Daily newspaper quoted a Shenhua official as saying.
The Shanghai club declined to comment on Tuesday.
