English Championship Side Reading Set to Sign Harambee Stars Winger Ayub Timbe

English Football Club, Reading is in talks with Kenyan footballer Ayub Timbe over a possible January switch to the Championship side.

The 26-year-old winger, who currently has a contract with Chinese topflight outfit Beijing Renhe, has confirmed Reading has approached him but an agreement is yet to be reached.

The pacey winger says he's always wanted to ply his trade in England although the move to Reading could be derailed by the huge release clause in his contract with the Chinese outfit.

“Yes it is true that Reading wants to sign me in this (January) transfer window but there have been hitches concerning my current contract. This might force the deal to the next window,” Timbe told the People Sport.

“I am still young and would like to return to Europe. It is every player’s dream to play in Europe, not only me and if a good offer comes my way, I will grab it with both hands.”

Last season, the Harambee Stars forward scored seven goals and assisted four helping Beijing Rehne to an 8th place finish.

He has previously played for Italian sides, Genk and Lierse before his transfer to Beijing Renhe. He is currently on loan to Chinese League One side, Heilongjiang FC.
