by Mark Bassey

Reading have confirmed the arrival of striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni, who has penned a deal until the end of the season.

The former Super Eagles player will take squad number 20 and will be hoping to bring his wealth of experience to the Championship side.

Aiyegbeni is the highest scoring African player ever in English football with 114, even more than Chelsea’ Didier Drogba (107).

Manager Steve Clarke said: “An experienced goalscorer, Yakubu brings a fantastic scoring record to this club and his addition will complement the strikers we’ve already got at Reading and help us to improve as a team in latter stages of the season.

“I know all about him as a player and I have heard very good reports about him as a personality in the dressing room. He is no-risk signing for us and I look forward to him scoring goals for Reading Football Club.”

The 32-year-old, who has previously played for Blackburn Rovers, Everton and Middlesbrough, joins as a free agent.
