Wolves target Matt Mills is set to meet with Reading manager Brian McDermott tomorrow in a bid to clinch his Premier League dream.

The 24-year-old Royals captain is ready to try to engineer his move away from the Championship play-off finalists in as dignified a way as possible, after returning from holiday on Friday.

Mills, who has a year left on his contract, has been offered a new deal by Reading understood to be worth almost £20,000 a week.

But, although he is settled at Reading, he is ready to turn his back on that to try his luck in the top flight with Wolves, Blackburn and Stoke all chasing his signature.

Wolves still maintain they haven't had a second offer rejected for the centre-half, although sources suggest the bidding has now reached £3.75million for the one-time Manchester City reserve.

But Wolves are cooling on Liverpool left-back Paul Konchesky, with sources suggesting the deal is now "highly unlikely" to happen.

Rangers, meanwhile, are understood to be interested in Christophe Berra.
