Espanyol announced the signing of Shanghai SIPG FC striker Wu Lei on Monday, the Chinese Super League's top scorer with 27 goals this season.
The Chinese-owned club did not provide any more details, like contract length or transfer fee. Wu Lei sustained a shoulder injury during China's run to the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup and may miss up to three months.
"The club believe he's a player with enormous potential, capable of becoming a key player in the squad," said Espanyol in a statement.
He has 102 goals in his career in China.
