Benja arrived at Barcelona Atlètic last summer from Spanish fourth division club Europa, where he played on loan from Espanyol B. The striker was immediately loaned out to Spanish fourth division club Reus, with whom Barcelona has a co-opertion agreement.

Barcelona paid the whole salary of the player on the condition that they could call him back whenever they wanted and Barcelona decided to use that clause this week. With Reus, Benja has scored eight goals in eighteen games this season.
