Freddy Adu is hoping to make 2012 the biggest year of his career, and he will be kicking off that year in Spain.

Adu is on his way to Spain, where he will train with La Liga side Rayo Vallecano. The training stint will run through the first week of January.

Rayo Vallecano made a play for Adu's services in the summer before Adu settled on MLS, and will now get a chance to have a closer look at the attacking midfielder.
