After much delay, CF Malaga finally announced that they have signed Japan international Shinji Okazaki on 30 July.



Okazaki left Leicester City after the 2018/19 season to pursue a new endeavour in Europe and ultimately settled on Spanish second division side Malaga.

The 33-year-old arrived at the club to complete his medical on 25 July. When interviewed by local media Deportes Cope, he said with much enthusiasm, “I’ve always wanted to play in Spain. The club may be in the second division now, but that doesn’t matter.”
