BARCELONA, Spain – Espanyol says it has signed striker Wu Lei, the second Chinese player to join the Spanish league.

Wu has been playing for Chinese club Shanghai SIPG, where he thrived for several seasons. The 27-year-old player was the league’s Golden Boot winner last year, and its top Chinese scorer for five straight seasons.

Wu scored two goals in this month’s Asian Cup, where the Chinese were eliminated by Iran in the quarterfinals.
