Reading FC are out of the running to sign Colchester United's Kyreece Lisbie as Oxford United and another League One club lead the chase. The 22-year-old winger has been in high demand this summer, with several clubs vying for his signature. Reading FC had been one of the clubs interested in signing Lisbie, but it appears they have been priced out of the market. Oxford United and another League One club are now leading the chase for Lisbie's signature, with both clubs having met with the player in recent weeks. Lisbie has been in impressive form for Colchester United, scoring 11 goals and registering eight assists across all competitions. He won the Young Player of the Year award at Colchester's end of season awards last week. The winger got his first taste of senior football for Cray Valley, and signed for Watford in 2021 before moving to Brentford less than a year later. He signed a permanent contract with Colchester in 2025 from Premier League side Brentford's B team until the summer of 2027.
