The Spanish club confirmed yesterday afternoon that they had agreed to sell the 24-year-old to their Italian counterparts, with a £4m fee mooted.
"I'm happy to be in Naples, an important club with a wonderful audience," the midfielder told the club's official website upon his arrival.
The Barcelona-born player, who has signed a five-year contract at the Stadio San Paolo, made 33 La Liga appearances for Espanyol last term.
