The 29-year-old recently extending his contract with Ajax and it seems as if the Urban Warriors has activated a clause in Jaakkola contract and cashed in on their keeper, reports KickOff.com.

A source has confirmed that the Finnish shot-stopper will be joining Jaap Stam’s Reading side.

‘Everything happened very fast but yes, Anssi is gone and will be joining Reading,’ the source said.
