The attacker spent the 2014-15 La Liga campaign at Mallorca—the team who initially sold the bright talent to the Madrid superclub.

Real captured the wonderkid in December 2014, per Charlie Scott of the Daily Mail, and he signed a six-year-deal with the club. 

Former Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti previously called the youngster "a great player," upon his signing, per Scott, and he will now receive top-flight opportunities at his new loan side.

Asensio has performed well for his former team Mallorca—scoring seven goals in 45 games—per Soccerbase.

Blogger Robbie Dunne explained some of the complexities surrounding the player's new loan agreement:

Asensio is one of the brightest talents in Spain, and after a period in the Segunda Division, he can finally test himself in La Liga. 

Espanyol is the perfect club for the winger; he should receive ample opportunity to play matches against the best teams in the country and prove to Madrid's hierarchy he is worthy of a place in the squad.
