(Reuters) - Reading have agreed terms over the sale of the club, the League One (third-tier) outfit said on Tuesday, as the English Football League extended the deadline for closing the deal to May 5.

It is the second time the EFL has pushed back the deadline to complete a takeover since the club's Chinese owner Dai Yongge was ordered to sell the club after being disqualified under the EFL's owners' and directors' test last month.
