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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Werder Bremen recently signed the Argentine <span style="" class="notranslate">Franco di Santo from Wigan, and this has further pushed Akpala down the pecking order of strikers.</span> <br /><br />The <i>Green Whites </i>are prepared to do a business with any club interested in the services of the former Club Brugge hit man.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />He netted just 1 goal in 21 Bundesliga appearances last term.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
