China star Wu Lei 'turns down Premier League' to stay at Espanyol

The 28-year-old forward is China's best-known player and there is intense interest back home in what he plans to do following Espanyol's relegation from La Liga despite having played in Europa League as well.

"It's true that some clubs from Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga contacted me," the Chinese international told state-run Xinhua in an interview released Friday.

"But I know what I truly want. The decision (to stay with Espanyol) was made for multiple reasons both on and off the pitch. My family feels comfortable living in the city of Barcelona. My teammates, club staff and fans have always been nice to me."

Wu, who moved to Spain from Shanghai SIPG in January 2019, has scored 11 goals in 65 appearances for Catalonia-based Espanyol - including in his first game back when football resumed in June from the virus.
