Reading manager Steve Coppell has revealed he has a list of targets but is in no immediate rush to sign new players.

Coppell has targeted the need for a new left-back following Nicky Shorey's move to Aston Villa, but will not rush into the transfer market before the window closes on August 31.

The Royals have been strongly linked with a move for Southampton defender Andrew Surman.

"We do need another left-sided player and we do have a list of targets that we are working on," he told the Reading Evening Post.

"There is nothing imminent and the search goes on, but it is not a desperate one because it has to be the right player.

"And we can always get a loan player in after August 31."
