At the age of 4 he started playing football at Cercle Melle. He would stay there for only 6 months. In 2001, at a local tournament organised by KFC Semmerzake, Raman was named the best player of the tournament. This caught the attention from Gent.

Gent

After 8 years playing in Gent's youth teams, Raman made his debut against Zulte Waregem, replacing Tim Smolders in the 91st minute. In February 2012, Raman chose to stay in Ghent, despite reported interest from Inter Milan, Aston Villa and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.[1]

Standard Liège

On 27 July 2016, Raman signed a four-year deal with Standard Liège.[2]

Fortuna Düsseldorf

On 31 August 2017, Raman was loaned to Fortuna Düsseldorf until 2018.[3] In January 2018, the loan was extended by another season until summer 2019.[4] In March 2018, Fortuna Düsseldorf announced they had exercised the option to sign Raman permanently on a contract until 2022.[5]

International career

Raman was born in Belgium and is of Spanish descent.[6] He is a youth international for Belgium.
