Reading striker Paul Butler has turned down offers from four clubs to take the out of favour attacker on loan. Martin Butler refused offers to join four clubs on loan those being Luton , Stoke , Preston & Bristol City.

Butler is well down the pecking order at Reading after going through a rough injury period, but reports suggest that Butler would like a permanant move away from the Madjeski not a temporary one.

Luton boss Joe Kinnear one of the clubs managers he turned down said on the Hatters website "He wants a permanent move and he's looking for a two-year deal and there's nothing we can do about it."

"He's had a fair number of clubs running after him and he's said no to all four of us." Kinnear added
