Martin Braithwaite makes shock career U-turn after leaving Espanyol

Espanyol will be delighted to be back in La Liga again this season, but they will face the season without their top goalscorer in Segunda. Martin Braithwaite executed a clause in his contract that meant he could leave the club for free in the aftermath of their play-off Segunda win.

The Danish forward has signed with Gremio in Brazil, rather than remain in Europe. Heavily linked with Olympiakos earlier in the summer, Braithwaite has decided to try a completely new experience with Gremio.

Just his second season at the RCDE Stadium, Braithwaite scored 22 times and was a key player in their promotion push, but Gremio say they have agreed terms with him.

Espanyol manager Manolo Gonzalez will no doubt want a new forward to help fill some of the gap left by Braithwaite. It will be the first time that Braithwaite has played outside of Europe in his career.
