LONDON (Reuters) - Leicester City utility defender Luis Hernandez has signed for Spanish side Malaga, the Premier League side confirmed on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old Spaniard joined champions Leicester on a free transfer from Sporting Gijon last summer and made eight appearances but failed to establish himself as a regular in a side who have struggled this season.
No fee was given although British media said Malaga, who are 14th in La Liga, had paid 1.7 million pounds ($2.13 million).
Hernandez could make his Malaga debut away to Osasuna on Friday.
