Sky Bet Championship clubs Bristol City and Reading are understood to be set to move for non league forward Luke Roberts according to the Bournemouth Echo.
The 23-year-old attacker who can play both as an out-and-out striker or winger has lit up the National League South this season with his performances for promotion chasing Poole Town.
It has been reported that scouts of second tier clubs Bristol City and Reading were present as The Dolphins’ drew 1-1 with Hungerford Town at Tatnam on Tuesday evening and both clubs could opt to make a move for the youngster’s services in the summer.
Roberts has netted nine goals this season for Poole Town, helping the club challenge for the National League South Play Offs in the process.
The attacker is currently a student at Bournemouth University with Roberts working towards becoming a PE teacher however the player is willing to shelve those plans should he receive an offer of full-time football.
Poole Town manager Tom Killick has hinted that the club are set to lose the services of the youngster in the summer after admitting that Roberts is too good for National League South level.
As well as the interest from Bristol City and Reading, it has been reported that English Football League hopefuls Forest Green Rovers are also watching the player’s development closely .
