Granada have announced the signing of Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa on loan from league rivals Malaga for one football season.

The Mexican international on Saturday reached an agreement with Granada to be the first-choice goalkeeper, after he was a substitute at Malaga, reports Efe.

Ochoa, 31, moved from France's Ajaccio to Malaga in 2014/15 season, but he did not appear in a single game in this season due to the high level of Cameroonian goalkeeper Idriss Carlos Kameni, who played 38 La Liga games.

However, Ochoa appeared in 953 minutes during last season due to the injury of Cameroonian goalkeeper.

 

Ochoa appeared with Mexico in the FIFA 2010 and 2014 World Cups in South Africa and Brazil respectively.
