Malaga confirm signing of Ikechukwu Uche
– Uche returns to Spain just months after he left Villareal
– The striker will play alongside Uruguayan Federico Ricco at the club
Super Eagles striker Ikechukwu Uche has joined to Spanish La Liga side, Malaga from Mexican side Tigres.
Uche had a relatively poor stay in Mexico as he was dogged by injuries which prompted his failure to establish himself in the starting line-up.

Francesc Arnau, Malaga sports director described Ikechukwu Uche as a great player and a big contributor to his team.
According to him, Uche together with Uruguayan Federico Ricco, who also joined on the last day of the transfer, are good signings for Malaga.
“Nobody could argue the quality of Uche, we’ll give him time and enjoy what he does,” Arnau said. “He passed his medical perfectly and is ready to play. (Federico) Ricca is a valued player from Uruguay, and we believe he could be a major asset in the future for our club, both short and long term.
“He’s a left-back, aggressive, kicks the ball well and has the ambition to be a great footballer. He is growing and I hope we see him in action for a long time.
“In this aspect we gain time by bringing forward his arrival. We thought about two or three more additions, plus the two surprises we had,” he concluded
In the same vein, West Ham have signed former Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike. The 28-year-old striker joins the team on loan until the end of the season.
UAE-based Al Ain, where Emenike had been on loan, had released the striker last month after they declared his services was no longer needed as one of their three foreign players.
