Reading are targeting a second loan move for Southampton striker Dominic Ballard, according to reports. The 19-year-old joined the club on loan last summer and scored five goals in 12 appearances before a ruptured patella tendon suffered in November ruled him out for the rest of the season. After eight months, the teenager returned to full training with Southampton's first-team over pre-season, with the Saints back in the Premier League after winning the Championship play-off's in May.
Sunderland will benefit on and off the pitch from their continued link-up with data analytics specialists Seriös Group, says David Bruce.
