Reading have denied any interest in Michael Mifsud.

Royals Coach Wally Downes had watched City's top scorer play for Malta in Greece on Saturday but Steve Coppell denied any interest.

He told the Reading Evening Post: He (Downes) wasn't there for a short break!

"We were looking at somebody - but it wasn't Michael Mifsud. We were aware of him in the summer when he was a free agent, so why would I pay £5m for him now? "But we never comment on potential transfer targets."

Michael Mifsud will be playing for Malta tonight against Norway in Valletta.
