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.
