Espanyol continues to plan next season with Vicente Moreno at the helm and according to the Japanese press it would have Michael Olunga (26 years old) as one of its objectives to reinforce the tip of the attack.
The parakeet box would have presented an offer for the former Girona striker, currently in the ranks of Kashiwa Reysol, a team in the Japanese first division. The tall African, 1.96 meters tall, has scored 11 goals in 10 games this season, being the top scorer in the competition to date.
Last season was key in the promotion to First of the Japanese team by scoring 27 goals and 9 assists in 30 games. His passage through Montilivi, however, was discreet, having little presence under Pablo Machín's orders (14 games, 3 goals and 1 assist).
Olunga stands out for his corpulence and physical power, although his height does not reduce his speed, and would undoubtedly provide a profile that does not exist right now among the Perica squad, which will undergo a major remodeling this summer to try to return as soon as possible to the football elite national.
