‘Barca interest in Lass fantastic’

Paco Jemez admits Barcelona’s reported interest in Rayo Vallecano winger Lass Bangoura “would be fantastic news”.

The 23-year-old has been linked with La Blaugrana by various outlets in the Catalan media since catching the eye at Camp Nou last month, and his Coach believes he should revel in the speculation.

“I hope it’s true because not everyone can say that they’re being followed by Barcelona,” he said at a Press conference ahead of Rayo’s trip to Eibar in La Liga on Sunday.

“As a Coach, it’s my duty, responsibility and obsession to extract all of Lass’ potential. That takes time and effort, but that’s what I’m doing.”

“[On Eibar counterpart Jose Luis Mendilibar praising Rayo’s style of play], the praise comes from a guy who knows what [football] is all about. I thank him for his words and have taken them on board.

“He’s doing a great job in the circumstances as [Eibar] only stayed up for non-football reasons, plus he’s had to manage many new faces.”
