Moroccan goalkeeper Munir El Kajoui said during an event at which he was presented as Malaga's newest player that he had always wanted to play for the club. Speaking to reporters, the Moroccan player said he was "very happy with the move," adding that he had "always been fond" of the team because of his close connection to Malaga, reports Efe.

Munir, 29, was born in the Spanish autonomous city of Melilla, which lies on the coast of North Africa and is linked to Malaga by a ferry. "This is a decision that was made with the heart, because my family is also passionate about the team," the keeper said on Friday, who comes to Malaga after four seasons with Numancia.
