Malaga have beaten a host of clubs to the signing of Ivory Coast international Arthur Boka.
The 31-year-old, who left Stuttgart earlier this summer after eight seasons with the German outfit, has signed a two-year contract with the Spanish club.
Boka has become Malaga's second major signing of the summer, with Luis Alberto also moving on loan from Premier League side Liverpool.
The full-back, who has 80 international caps to his name, appeared for his country at this summer's World Cup in Brazil.
