Joseph Akpala Training With Reading

According to German newspaper Bild, 26 - year - old Nigeria international forward Joseph Akpala is currently in England, where he is training with Reading, who these days play in the Championship.

Akpala is not in the plans of Werder Bremen manager Robin Dutt this season, hence he must leave for a team where he is guaranteed playing opportunities.

Werder Bremen recently signed the Argentine Franco di Santo from Wigan, and this has further pushed Akpala down the pecking order of strikers.

The Green Whites are prepared to do a business with any club interested in the services of the former Club Brugge hit man.

Since Akpala's contract expires in 2016, there is talk that he might be farmed out on loan should an interested suitor fail to meet his valuation.

He netted just 1 goal in 21 Bundesliga appearances last term.
