Chelsea's USMNT defender Miazga joins Reading on loan

Reading have announced the signing of Chelsea centre-back Matt Miazga, who joins the club on loan for the remainder of the 2018-19 season following the completion of a medical.

The former New York Red Bulls youth player becomes the Royals' fifth loan signing of the winter window, and the second arrival from Stamford Bridge following Lewis Baker's switch.

The move means Miazga has now taken in three loan spells since his arrival at Chelsea in 2016, having spent time at Vitesse in the Eredivisie – where he provided an assist for Baker on his debut - and more recently Nantes in Ligue 1.
