Nigeria international Ikechukwu Uche is delighted to complete his transfer to Malaga on deadline day and spoke of his pride after he was contacted by the club to assist in their push for a Europa League spot.

The striker underwent a series of tests on Tuesday morning to determine his level of fitness and the good news is that his injury worries are behind him.

Speaking to reporters during his unveiling, Uche said : “I feel proud and happy to be here.  I’m eager to get to work and show what I can do in order to help the team.

“I’ll work hard every day to support the team to win games, will always be available for the coach to count on me, and support the team.

“I will do my best to work hard to benefit the team, helping by scoring goals would be better, so I’ll train hard for that to happen.”

For the remainder of this season, Uche who is on loan from Tigres (Mexico), will sport the number eight jersey.
