Japan international Shinji Okazaki is coming to Spanish second division side Malaga CF.

According to Spanish newspaper AS, Okazaki arrived for his medical on 25 July. At the Malaga airport, the 33-year-old said, “I’ve wanted to play in Spain. The division doesn’t matter.”

Okazaki, who left Leicester City this summer, had hoped to continue playing in Europe but could not find a new club until an offer from Malaga came along. Plagued by financial problems, the club needs to secure funds first through the sales of players, though it seems like the problem is going to be solved.
