Soon-to-be new Reading owner, Rob Couhig, has confirmed his attendance at this afternoon's match against Wigan Athletic.

The 75-year-old, who had previously owned Wycombe Wanderers, has travelled over from America with his wife and business partner, Todd Trosclair, to confirm the deal.

The Reading Chronicle first reported his attendance on Thursday and a deal is expected to be formerly confirmed in the coming days.

Taking to social media, Couhig said: "Todd, Todd, jr, Amy, Missy, and I are excited to watch Reading and Wigan Athletic on⁩ Saturday. Weather and football should be great. We hope it’s the start of a great relationship with the town, fc, and supporters. Up The Ding!"

On Saturday morning, he changed his profile picture to one at Bearwood, the club's training ground he controversially tried to purchase as Wycombe chief.

Meanwhile, Trosclair added: "Two kickoffs at 3pm- Reading and Wigan Athletic and our relationship with Reading football and its supporters."

He also changed his profile picture to a Royals-related one ahead of the game.
