Moves to Sevilla Rafa joined Sevilla from Wolves on Friday. He's committed to a six-year contract with his new club.

Impact Scoring 13 goals for Huesca and a hat trick for Spain at the Olympics is a good way to climb the club chain in one year and now Rafa finds himself in one of the top teams in La Liga. What will be more difficult for Rafa is to consistently start at forward due to the presence of Youssef En-Nesyri, who scored 18 goals of his own last season and added six more in the Champions League. As a result, Rafa may first bump Luuk de Jong out of the striking rotation and then play on the wings in order to include the most talented lineup.

Training with Wolves Rafa is training with Wolves following his involvement with Spain in the Olympics.

Impact Rafa is training with Wolverhampton, but not many expect him to stay with the club. Atletico Madrid have reportedly made a bid for the striker to only have Wolves turn it down. It's unclear if Wolves plan to hold onto him in the last year of his contract or let him go elsewhere. He appeared in all 38 matches while on loan at Huesca last season, scoring 13 goals, in addition to playing with the Spanish national team in the Euros and Olympics.

Takes five shots in win Rafa took five shots (three on goal) during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Japan.

Impact Rafa got the start on the right wing and played all 120 minutes, though he was unable to score anything after bagging a hat trick in the win over Cote D'ivoire in the previous round. With Marco Asensio scoring the winner without needing to replace Rafa, there could be a chance he stays in the lineup for the gold medal match against Brazil.

Bags hat trick in win Rafa scored three goals from four shots (all on target) in 30 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 5-2 win over Cote D'Ivoire.

Impact Rafa first saved Spain's tournament then won them this game with goals in the final moments of regular time and two more at the end of extra time. While getting past Mikel Oyarzabal as the primary starter has proved a difficult task, Rafa should be able to work his way into the starting lineup following this performance.

Takes two shots off bench Rafa put two shots on target during 22 minutes of Thursday's scoreless draw with Egypt.

Impact Rafa replaced Mikel Oyarzabal and ended with better attacking numbers in limited minutes. Given the difference in how the two played, it wouldn't be surprising to see Rafa get a shot to start in some capacity over the other group stage games against Australia and Argentina.

Impact Rafa had arguably one of his worst performances of the season, being kept at bay during the entire match and only managing to attempt one shot, a harmless header that went well over the crossbar. With 13 goals scored this season, the striker is still Huesca's main offensive threat and he will try to bounce back during next Sunday's critical matchup against Valencia.
