According to eatsleepsport, Newcastle have joined West Ham United in the race to sign Reading left-back Nicky Shorey.
The Royals defender has been linked with several exits from the Madejski over the past 18 months or so with West Ham always said to be keen on him.
The 22-year old has two England caps to his name and he will be hoping to add to that but he may have to leave Reading for that and maybe join either Newcastle or West Ham.
I personally think Shorey will leave Reading, but it will probably be during the summer. He had a terrific first season in the Premier League last year but I personally don't think he has played as well this year, however I do think he would be a good signing for either Newcastle or West Ham.
