From the English Premier League, the club "Reading", which has been relegated, is already preparing to return to the country's highest football division next season.

On Friday, the team officially announced the acquisition of former Madrid "Real" and "Everton" defender Royston Drenthe.

The Dutchman will join the team as a free agent from the Russian team Vladikavkaz "Alania" and will sign a two-year contract.

R. Drenthe joined the Madrid "Real" team in 2007 from the Dutch "Feyenoord", but later was loaned to the "Hercules" and "Everton" clubs.
