Reading have completed the permanent signing of on-loan centre-half Andre Bikey in a £1million deal from Lokomotiv Moscow.

The 22-year-old Cameroon international has made an excellent impression during his time with the Royals, helping the Berkshire club enjoy a superb first season in the Premiership.

Director of football Nicky Hammond told the club's official website: "Andre has done every well with us since joining on loan.

"He has proved he can play at Premiership level and this move gives him the opportunity to progress.

"This is a very good signing for Reading football club and a great deal for us in the current market."

Chairman John Madejski added: "Andre has settled into Reading very well and shown that he is a player with great potential.

"He is also a good character who has fitted into our squad and will be an important player in the next few years."
