Ghana winger Charles Takyi has returned to Germany after just one season by signing for Energie Cottbus.

The 28-year-old joined the Bundesliga II club on a two-year contract after spending one season in the Danish top-flight with Horsens.

His contract with Cottbus will end in June 2015.

Takyi leaves the Danish top-flight team on a free transfer having excelled in his one season with Horsens.

The attacking midfielder, who played for Ghana at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, left German side FC St. Pauli in June 2012 in a disagreement over his new contract.

Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse is a target for German giants Borussia Dortmund.

Champions League finalists Dortmund are expected to lose their star striker Robert Lewandowski, who is set to join fierce rivals Bayern Munich but has also been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea, this summer.

That has left Dortmund desperate for new options in attack and the prolific Cisse is one possible target this summer.

The 27-year-old Senegal international joined Newcastle from Freiburg for £9million in January 2012, and hit 13 goals in his 14 appearances last season.

Ivory Coast striker Arouna Kone was among the stars as Wigan stunned Manchester City 1-0 at the weekend to lift the FA Cup trophy for the first time.

Unfashionable Wigan visit Arsenal on Tuesday and host Aston Villa on Sunday, needing to win both ganes to be sure of avoiding relegation.

Freiburg defender Fallou Diagne is reportedly on the verge of joining Borussia Dortmund, reports France Football.

The Millionaires are actively searching for defensive reinforcements seeing as how Felipe Santana looks likely to leave in the summer.

Jurgen Klopp has looked at a number of players over the last couple of months, but it appears he has decided to make a move on the Senegalese stopper.

The player who has a contract until June 2016 should be available for mere €4 million in the summer and it is no secret Borussia will have money to spend in the upcoming transfer window.

Ivory Coast striker Arouna Kone scored as FA Cup finalists Wigan edged West Bromwich Albion 3-2 at the weekend to boost hopes of dodging relegation from the English Premier League.

Kone, who stands out with his dyed blond hair, was in the Ivorian squad that flopped at the 2013 Cup of Nations, losing to eventual champions Nigeria in the quarter-finals.

Lacina Traore was another happy Ivorian goal poacher, coming on as a late substitute for Russian outfit Anzhi Makhachkala to equalise and then set up the winner for Cameroonian Samuel Eto'o.

Ivorian Yaya Toure, South African Steven Pienaar and Kenyan Dennis Oliech were among the African scorers in the top European football leagues at the weekend.

Reigning African Footballer of the Year Toure collected his ninth goal of the season and first since February for deposed English Premier League champions Manchester City with a late thunderbolt in a 2-1 home win over West Ham.

Retired South Africa captain and midfielder Pienaar scored the only goal as Everton edged Fulham while in France Kenya striker Oliech netted in stoppage time to earn struggling Ajaccio a key 2-1 win over Montpellier.

Lille threw away a massive three-goal advantage to draw 3:3 against visitors Sochaux in the French Ligue 1 on Friday night.

A late rally however saw Sochaux score three goals in eight minutes to snatch a point.

Nigeria striker Joseph Akpala is back in training with German club Werder Bremen after he was out for seven weeks with a left knee injury.

Akpala suffered a ligament tear injury in training in March, which meant he would be sidelined for at least a month and half.

The Jos-born star returned to Bremen on Sunday from Belgium, where he has gone for his rehabilitation.

He trained on his own on Monday with the physical trainer Reinhard Schnittker.

"I went through a rehab programme in Belgium. Now I can work on individual elements on the pitch," Akpala told the Werder Bremen official website.

Record four-time African Footballer of the Year Samuel Eto'o scored for Russian big spenders Anzhi Makhachkala at the weekend on his return from a knee injury.

However, the Cameroonian star could not prevent Dynamo Moscow fighting back to force a 3-3 draw and leave Anzhi third in the table, 10 points behind leaders CSKA Moscow with five rounds left.

Benin midfielder Stephane Sessegnon was on target for the second consecutive week, with his late first-half goal giving lowly Sunderland a 1-0 home victory over Everton.
