Got to study about revolutionary (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reached

'got to' is the definition.
('reach' can be a synonym of 'get to')

'study about revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'study' becomes 'read' (synonyms).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'revolutionary' becomes 'Che' (Che Guevara).
'read' placed around 'che' is 'REACHED'.

(Other definitions for reached that I've seen before include "Cad here (anag.)" , "Attained" , "Stretched or arrived" , "Came to (a place)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
