HARVEY Knibbs’ transfer to Charlton Athletic is currently off, accruing to Royals boss Noel Hunt.
Charlton were closing in on a deal to sign the 26-year-old midfielder for a reported £1.8million.
Hunt gave an update to Royals TV on Thursday afternoon.
“Whatever happened, I’m not too sure,” Hunt said. “I’ll speak to Harvey about that this morning.
“Obviously there was something that wasn’t quite right, whether that was from Harvey’s side or not I don’t know. He is still our player, we will make sure he is okay because obviously moves to bigger clubs is really important for players and their progression.
“These things happen all the time, it’s a tough one for him but we’re hopefully mentally he’s okay first and foremost, and physically he’s fine, so it’s about making sure he’s okay.
“We will have a conversation and see if he’s ready to play.”
Championship clubs Portsmouth, Coventry City and Oxford United have also been reportedly interested in Knibbs.
Former Cambridge United midfielder Knibbs scored fourteen goals in 43 games for Reading in League One last season.
