Barnet are being linked with a move for Reading right-back Andy Yiadom, with the 34-year-old potentially available as a free agent as uncertainty continues over his contract situation at the League One club.
The National League side are rumoured to be exploring a deal to bring the Ghana and England-qualified defender back to north London, with the move rated at an unspecified probability (“?”) on transfer specialists Transfermarkt as of 6 May 2026. With no contract expiry date listed for Yiadom at Reading, speculation has grown that he could be allowed to leave without a fee this summer.
Yiadom, valued at €125,000, has been a regular presence for Reading in recent seasons, operating primarily at right-back but also capable of filling in across the defensive line. Born in London on 2 December 1991 and standing at 1.80m, he brings extensive experience in the English pyramid, currently turning out in League One with the Royals and previously playing in the lower leagues earlier in his career.
The Reading captain’s most recent campaign has kept him in the shop window, with his displays in League One continuing to underline his defensive nous and leadership. Specific recent match data lists him featuring for Reading in the current season, though full details of the latest fixture and performance remain limited in the publicly available statistics.
Yiadom’s dual nationality (Ghana and England) and long service in English football, combined with his modest market value, make him an attractive short-term option for Barnet as they weigh up promotion ambitions and squad depth. With the probability of the transfer still officially unquantified and no formal agreement reported, any switch remains firmly in the rumour category, but a move back into the London scene could offer Yiadom a fresh chapter and a chance to extend his reputation as a dependable, versatile defender if it comes to fruition.
