Reading bring in Ake

Reading have signed Nathan Ake on a month’s loan from Premier League leaders Chelsea, according to the Mail Online.

The Netherlands U21 international has made just four appearances for Jose Mourinho’s side so far this season, and has played just eleven minutes of league football since the end of the 2012/13 campaign.

He did however make a cameo appearance in the Blues’ 3-0 win over Watford in the third round of the FA Cup back in January, meaning that he will be ineligible for the Royals semi-final against holders Arsenal at Wembley.

While they have impressed in the cup, Steve Clarke’s men have struggled in the league so far this season, but are nine points clear of the Championship relegation zone.

They will hope to pull further away from the bottom three when they host Cardiff City a week on Saturday, with the home win available at a price of 11/10.
