Reading are on the verge of sealing a sensational move for Asamoah Gyan.

The Ghana international striker has arrived in England and is currently in Berkshire discussing a switch to Madejski Stadium.

Talks will continue throughout the day and getreading understands a medical is pencilled in for tomorrow (Monday) ahead of a season-long loan from Chinese club Shanghai SIPG.

Gyan made his name in England playing for Sunderland, who he joined from Rennes in 2010. He spent two seasons with the Black Cats before heading to Al Ain in Abu Dhabi where he scored a staggering 73 goals in 65 games - including 44 goals in one season.

Then in July 2015 he joined Chinese Super League team Shanghai SIPG - having secured a contract which made him one of the best paid players on the planet - taking home £227,000 a week.

It is not yet clear what percentage of those wages Royals will have to pay to land the 30-year-old, who is the record goalscorer for his national team with 48 goals from 95 games.

Gyan - who has been linked with Fulham and Sunderland - will be the last signing of the summer transfer window for Jaap Stam's side if the transfer is confirmed.

He is being brought in as a replacement for injured frontman Deniss Rakels .
