Espanyol make the signing of winger Hernan Perez official

Hernan Asensio Perez (Paraguay, 25/02/1989) is now a new Espanyol player. The Paraguayan passed a private medical on Thursday, before signing a four-year-deal.

Hernan Perez arrives at Espanyol after playing at Real Valladolid last season. The Paraguayan, however, has spent a big period of his career with Villarreal, playing 34 top-flight games and scoring five goals.

The player will resolve some personal issues on the weekend, but will be presented in the coming days. He can play either as an attacking midfielder or a winger, and will join first-team training this Monday.

While speaking to the club's official TV channel, Perez said: "I am very happy to have this opportunity. I have already played in the Primera and I arrive to try and give my best." When asked about his strengths, he explained "speed and physical strength characterise my game quite a bit."
