- on Trial at Coventry City
The long forgotten but yet to retired Nigerian international Yakubu Aiyegbeni may pick up his boot once again.
League one side Coventry have opened talks with the 34 year old NIgerian international.
Aiyegbeni is currently on trial with the side and the club officials are optimistic that the former Everton forward will eventually be part of the team and contribute to their desire to improve standing on the log.
Aiyegbeni has been without a club since leaving Turkish side Kayserispor last year having failed to score a single goal during an unsuccessful spell with the team.
Coventry currently sit rock-bottom in League One, eight points from safety and in desperate need of extra firepower having scored just 23 goals in their 29 outings so far this season.
Sky Blues boss Russell Slade has reportedly earmarked Yakubu as a possible solution to his side’s goal scoring problems, with the Nigerian having netted 140 times in English football during stints with Everton, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers.
The veteran most recently played in England for Reading in 2015, but managed just one goal in 11 appearances for the Royals.
Aiyegbeni who also played for Chinese Super league side Guangzhou R&F, made 43 appearances with 24 goals to show for his effort.
The Yak who scored 21 goals for the Super Eagles in 57 appearances scored his highest number of goals in the league between 2003 and 2005 while playing for Portsmouth. He scored 29 goals for the club in 65 appearances.
