The one who arrived as the star signing of the blanquiazul team at the end of July has not even been able to debut with the Spanish club in an official match. Now he's rumored to be a possible reinforcement for SD Huesca, where he would arrive as a free agent.
In addition, as reported by the newspaper La Opinión de Málaga, the Andalusian team was also unable to register José Rodríguez, Álex Mula, and Iván Rodríguez on the last day of the transfer window, who are still with the club, while they incorporated Mohamed Benkhemassa, Lorenzo González, and Armando Sadiku in the last minutes before the deadline.
Arrived from Leicester
Okazaki is an international player with Japan and came as a free agent from Leicester City in the Premier League, with which he ended his contract on June 30. The forward became champion of the Premier League in the 2015-16 season.
He made his debut at Shimizu S-Pulse in the first Japanese league and made the jump to Europe in the 2011-2012 season with German team Stuttgart and later with Mainz, where he scored 27 goals in two seasons.
