Barcelona has officially announced the transfer of Elche midfielder Rubén "Rayo" Rayos (22), who will play for Barcelona B next season. Rayo, who played on loan with third division team Villajoyosa over the last two seasons (read more here), has signed a two-year contract and is the first signing of Barcelona B.
The club's official website describes Rayo as a left footed player who can play both on the wing as in centre midfield. In the 4-3-3 system that Barcelona B will play he could play as left or right wing attacker or as left attacking midfielder. His first quality is his good passing. Last season he scored five goals.
Barcelona B assistant coach Joan Barbarà (picture, on the left) describes Rayo as follows: "It's a very interesting player who we are already monitoring for a while. We had scouting reports that recommended his transfer. He plays as left wing attacker, which was a position we wanted to strengthen. It's a very fast and handy player, very good in one-on-one situations. He could play in midfield but he's basically more a left winger. We also took into account his experience in the third division. We're very satisfied with his transfer and he looks very motivated to make something of it."
