Rayan Elloumi, 18, Joins the Ranks of the Elite
The Press — He's stepping up his game in Vancouver. The 18-year-old international U23 attacker has recently won his second consecutive trophy this season with the "Vancouver Whitecaps". Fresh from their 3-1 victory over San Diego, Vancouver has won the Western Conference MLS championship and will face off against Inter Miami CF, featuring Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, and Luis Suarez, in the MLS Cup final next Saturday. This means Elloumi will be rubbing shoulders with even more football legends, having already played alongside prestigious teammates like German player Thomas Muller, a former Bayern Munich star. After winning the Canadian Cup, Vancouver's fourth consecutive title, Rayan Elloumi has added another achievement to his portfolio, a remarkable feat for a young talent who signed his first professional contract in September, a deal that runs until December 2028. And this is just the beginning, considering the 18-year-old has only played 7 MLS games so far, but has impressed with his goals, technical skills, and assists in almost every appearance.
