Moha suits Espanyol ambitions

Spanish Cup winners RCD Espanyol have made their first summer signing, landing Moroccan international midfielder Moha from CA Osasuna.

Catalan connections
The 28-year-old, whose full name is Mohammed El Taagoubi, will move to the Barcelona-based team on a two-year contract after Espanyol agreed a €400,000 deal with Osasuna. Moha joined the Pamplona outfit in 2000 from the FC Barcelona youth ranks and, despite loan spells at Levante UD and Elche CF, he played 122 league games for Osasuna, scoring ten goals. His arrival follows Ernesto Valverde's appointment as coach last month, replacing Miguel Ángel Lotina.
