Called up for the World Cup, Rayan is among the best reinforcements in the Premier League

Forward Rayan needed less than six months to become one of the main names in the 2025/26 Premier League. With an impact at Bournemouth, the Brazilian was chosen as the seventh best reinforcement of last season by "The Athletic".

Graduated in Vasco's youth divisions, Rayan arrived at the English club in January. Since then, there have been 15 games in the English league, with five goals and two assists.

Quick adaptation helped Bournemouth qualify for the Europa League in sixth place. Rayan, in turn, was called up by the Brazilian team for the World Cup.

"You would think that a young man moving from Brazil to Bournemouth in January would need time to adapt to England and the Premier League, but Rayan is no ordinary player. In 13 starts, seven goal appearances and comparable to Gareth Bale for his dynamics, strength and dribbling style. Bournemouth have done it again", published the portal.
