Colchester United have boosted their squad on transfer deadline day with the signing of Reading winger Tarique Fosu on loan.

The 20-year-old will be at the U's until January, following his arrival from the Championship club.

Fosu has already had loan spells at Fleetwood Town and Accrington Stanley and will be hoping to help Colchester continue their fine start to the League Two season.

Fosu is in line to make his debut for the U's in their home match against Exeter City on Saturday.
