Zambia centre-back Stopilla Sunzu has taken a temporary break from training for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations to undergo a pre-transfer medical at English Premier League club Reading (Isn't this lack of dedication?).
.
Sunzu plays for TP Mazembe in the Democractic Republic of Congo and the club said on its website that a three-million-pounds (3.6 million euros/$4.8 million) deal had been agreed pending the successful completion of formalities.

Goal Scorer of the winning penalty when Zambia surprised Ivory Coast 8-7 in a shootout to win the 2012 Africa Cup, Sunzu is due in South Africa on January 19, two days before the defending champions face Ethiopia in the opening round.

He played very well against Norway last Sunday to complete a winless five-match build-up to the Cup of Nations
