Asamoah Gyan: Reading season-long loan move off for Ghana captain

Asamoah Gyan has played in two World Cups for Ghana

Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan's proposed move to Championship club Reading on a season-long loan has fallen through.

The 30-year-old former Sunderland striker was poised to join the Royals from Chinese side Shanghai SIPG.

Reading confirmed to BBC Radio Berkshire that Gyan will not be joining the club, but would not comment on reports of him failing a medical.

Gyan scored 10 Premier League goals during a two-year spell with Sunderland from 2010 before moving to the UAE.
