Wu Lei feels he has achieved all he could with Espanyol and in Spanish football.

"I have experienced a lot since I arrived here, I entered the Europa League after many years, I went down and then we went up. In the last game of last season I attended Granada's relegation," he said.

Wu Lei leaves a unique legacy, with 126 games played in all competitions and 16 goals. He was the first Chinese to score in LaLiga and in Europe.
