Cameroon's Andre Bikey has impressed in England

Bikey, 22, arrived at Reading on trial last summer before signing on a season-long loan in August.

The Cameroon international has earned a three-year deal.

The signing is subject to ratification by the Premier League and the respective Football Associations of England and Russia.

Royals chairman John Madejski told the club's website: "I'm very pleased that Andre has joined us permanently.

"He has settled into Reading very well and shown that he is a player with great potential.

"He is also a good character who has fitted into our squad and will be an important player in the next few years."
