Jordan Ayew to Reading 70% done – report

Footy-ghana.com sources have confirmed that English Premier League side Reading are more than half way through to reaching an agreement with Olympique Marseille over the transfer of Ghana forward Jordan Ayew.

Initial reports in the English press seemed to indicate that the deal has already been done, but footy-ghana.com sources reveal that negotiations between both clubs are ‘70% complete.’

Footy-ghana.com also understands that Marseille boss Eli Baup was very reluctant to let Jordan go, but the forward expressed interest in the potential move to the Premier League, thus culminating in talks between both teams.

Reading won the English Championship and are back in the Premier League for the first time in four years.
