Pachuca sign Keisuke Honda on free transfer

Mexican outfit Pachuca have confirmed the arrival of Keisuke Honda on a free transfer following his release from AC Milan.

Honda, 31, has spent the last three years with Milan, but he departed the Italian giants at the end of the 2016-17 campaign following the expiration of his contract.

The 90-time Japan international had been strongly linked with a move to the MLS, but Liga MX side have won the race for the experienced attacker's signature.
