Sunderland are determined not to sell Jobe Bellingham despite interest in the midfielder from clubs in the Premier League and elsewhere in Europe
Reading teenager Jamie Bynoe-Gittens experienced Wembley heartache in the Champions League final on Saturday as Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0. Los Blancos picked up their 15th European Cup with second-half goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior despite a battling performance from the German outfit. Bynoe-Gittens, 19, was born and raised in Reading, playing for youth teams such as Theale Tigers and Caversham Trents.
Former Reading star Michael Olise has been named in France's preliminary squad for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris this summer. 22-year-old Olise broke through the youth system in Berkshire and made over 70 appearances before his £8m move to Crystal Palace. Winning the EFL Young Player of the Season with the Royals, his career continues to progress and the attacking midfielder is one of the brightest starlets in the Premier League.
