England international defender Nicky Shorey has claimed that he is flattered by interest from West Ham United.
The Reading left-back is a life-long Hammers fan and Alan Curbishley is said to be ready to make a £5million bid.
Reading are keen on signing River Plate defender Danilo Gerlo, according to the Argentine club.
The Royals lost 1-0 to River last week in the Peace Cup in South Korea and the central defender is keen on a move to the Premiership with Reading.
Gerlo did enough in the match between the two clubs to impress Steve Coppell enough for chairman John Madeski to make an approach.
