Malaga have signed United States
defender Oguchi Onyewu on loan from Portugal's Sporting Lisbon
with an option to buy next year, the Spanish club said on
Friday.
The 30-year-old central defender has played for a number of
clubs in Europe including Standard Liege, Newcastle United,
Inter Milan and Twente.
Onyewu is Malaga's fourth signing in the last 24 hours after
they also landed Paraguay striker Roque Santa Cruz on loan,
Argentine striker Javier Saviola and Chile midfielder Manuel
Iturra.
Qatari-owned Malaga have been drawn in Champions League
Group C along with AC Milan, Zenit St Petersburg and Anderlecht
in their first venture into Europe's elite club competition.
