Reading completed their first signing of the new season late on Friday night, despite initial doubts. On Thursday, manager Rubén Sellés had stated that a new signing wouldn’t be feasible before the takeover. However, in a surprising turn of events, the club announced they had secured 21-year-old Chem Campbell on a four-month loan from Wolves.
In their announcement, the club stated that the signing was made possible thanks to the cooperation of “all parties, including the EFL.”

We’re excited to bring him to Reading and offer him a chance to make an impact and continue his development.”
