Espanyol captain Garcia bound for Qatar

Espanyol's emblematic centre-forward and captain Sergio Garcia is to leave the club to join Qatari side Al Rayyan, according to the Catalan outfit.

A statement by Espanyol on Monday said they had reached an agreement with Garcia which would allow him to move to Qatar, "where he is set to join Al Rayyan".

The 32-year-old, who began his career with Barcelona, joined Espanyol from Betis in 2010 and has been a key player for them in the last five years, scoring 14 league goals last season.

Garcia, who has also appeared for Levante and Zaragoza, was part of the Spain squad that won Euro 2008.
