Reading striker Andy Carroll is working to a cut price deal with the Championship outfit.

The former England striker scored on his debut at the weekend to help his new side to an exciting 3-2 win away at Swansea.

The Athletic says Carroll is earning just £1,000-a-week at the Madejski Stadium. At Newcastle he was believed to be on £75,000.

Reading are currently under a transfer embargo after being found to have breached financial rules, with Carroll earning the maximum permitted wage.

The 32-year-old had been a free agent since his second stint with boyhood club Newcastle ended in the summer.

He was keen to get back into the game and has been given a chance in the Championship by the Royals, who have snapped him up on a deal until mid-January.
