Reading welcome Nigerian striker Yakubu

Former Blackburn Rovers, Portsmouth, Middlesbrough and Nigeria striker Yakubu has joined Championship club Reading on a deal until the end of the season. The 32-year-old was a free agent after playing for Qatari club Al Rayyan.

"His addition will complement the strikers we've already got at Reading," said boss Steve Clarke.

"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."
