Forlan heads to Japan

Uruguay's Diego Forlan, voted best player at the 2010 World Cup, signed for J-League side Cerezo Osaka until the end of the year on Wednesday, the striker said on Twitter.
The 34-year-old has been at Internacional of Brazil since mid-2012 on a three-year contract but had seen little action in recent months and sought a move for regular football leading up to the World Cup finals in Brazil.
"Signing with Cerezo Osaka until Dec. 2014," Forlan wrote in Spanish, English and Japanese on his twitter account, posting a photo of himself putting pen to paper on the deal.
