The Royals made their first signing of the summer this afternoon when Dutch offensive midfielder Pelle Clement signed a three-year deal with the club.

After completing a medical in the morning, Pelle Clement was all smiles as he met Chief Executive Nigel Howe to sign the paperwork on a move away from Ajax - a club he has been at since the age of 11!

He flies back to Holland briefly this evening before returning to join his new teammates in training on Friday morning - but we managed to get some snaps of our new Dutch arrival before he flew off the airport!

Welcome to Reading, Pelle!
