Experienced midfielder Manu Lanzarote has joined Segunda Division side Deportivo Alaves on loan for the remainder of the season.
The 31-year-old has struggled for first-team football this term, with both his Espanyol appearances coming in the Copa del Rey.
However, the midfielder is expected to play a regular role for his new team.
"I want to give my thanks to everyone at RCD Espanyol: the team, the employees and the fans. You are a great family. I wish you a successful end to the season," Lanzarote wrote on Twitter.
Lanzarote started his career at Barcelona.
