Malaga complete double signing of Jony and Keko

Malaga have completed the double signing of wingers Keko and Jony from Eibar and Sporting Gijon respectively.

The pair were unveiled in front of 2,500 fans at Malaga's La Rosaleda stadium on Saturday alongside sporting director Francesc Arnau.

Jony, who signed a four-year contract after leaving Sporting Gijon on a free transfer, said: "All football players want to be ambitious, want to aspire to be at a high level. The confidence that Malaga have put in me is what's really thrilled for me.

"The project they've got right now and moving forward is beautiful and exciting, with young people who want to show what they're capable of. I'm a player who likes challenges, I'm ambitious, and I always want to go further, and it's that that's really delighted me about Malaga.

Keko, who also signed a four-year deal, added: "I'm also a very ambitious person. You can tell that about me when I'm on the pitch, I always want more, develop my football, my performance and the objectives that I can reach. I believe that's what Malaga's offered me.

"After football, names don't count, nor what happens off the pitch, the only thing that matters is what goes on out on field. Malaga offered me this jump forward, to continue growing and to achieve my ambitious objectives.

"I want to play, I want to come here convinced that I'm not just going to be just another one, but that I have to earn my stripes day by day and I will need to show that. I come to do just that through my work and whole attitude. And from there we'll all fly forwards and achieve the objectives of this project."
