Real Madrid Sign Joselu On Loan From Espanyol
La Liga side, Real Madrid has announced the signing of Spain international, Joselu on a season-long loan from Espanyol, with an option to buy at the end of the season.
Joselu, 33, was La Liga’s third-highest scorer last season, with a total of 16 goals, despite his side being relegated.
His signing follows the departure of Real striker Karim Benzema who joined Saudi Arabia club, Al-Ittihad.
Real is looking to fill the void left by the Ballon d’Or-winning French forward, who was their second-highest scorer of all time.
Joselu returns to the Spanish capital, having previously joined Real’s youth academy in 2010. He made his debut for the first team in 2011, scoring three minutes after coming off the bench against Almería.
Since leaving Real in 2012, the Spanish striker has played in both the Bundesliga and Premier League.
He scored 10 goals in the English top flight across stints with Stoke City and Newcastle United, before returning to Spain in 2019 with Alaves.
