Luis Sinisterra still on a roll: New goal to be Colombia's top scorer in Europe

One of the best performing Colombian players in European football is Luis Sinisterra. The 2021-2022 season was great for him because apart from being one of the top scorers in the UEFA Conference League and the Dutch League, he is the coffee player with the most goals scored in the old continent.

After his time with the Colombia national team, where he stood out for the band accompanying the attacking plays of the 'tricolor', Sinisterra joined his team and was in charge of opening the score in Feyenoord's 2-0 victory against Willem II. The goal came in 66 minutes after the striker was placed on the left side of the field, where he received the ball at the edge of the box and it was when he decided to face and after laying down his defenders to shoot powerfully at the goalkeeper's club that he could do nothing to avoid scoring. Feyenoord's next match in the championship will be on the road against Heracles Almelo, while Willem II will visit Go Ahead Eagles.

This goal puts him to lead the Colombian scorers' table in European football with 19 goals. This is followed by Alfredo Morelos, from Rangers FC Scotland with 18 goals. Then the guajiro Luis Díaz appears very close, who, although he has barely scored two goals in Liverpool, his start to the season with Porto in the Portuguese League was brilliant and it was enough for him to take second place in the scorers' table, with the same amount as Morelos.

On the step with 12 goals appears the Atalanta striker, Duván Zapata, who has not played for several months because of a muscle injury that has become more complicated than expected. The second name is a real surprise, because it is Oscar Estupiñán who plays for Vitoria Guimaraes in Portugal. This player has spent a couple of seasons with an interesting average scorer.

Among the usual players called up for the Colombia team who appear in the top 10 are Rafael Santos Borré of Eintracht Frankfurt. The team player of Deportivo Cali has just missed a penalty in the middle of the week in the Europa League, however, he scored last day in the 4-1 win against Hertha Berlin at the Olympic Stadium.

For his part, Luis Muriel also shined in the Europa League where he started again after a month of absence. The Saint Tomas-born Atlántico scored a double against Bayer Leverkusen and gave an assist in the 3-1 victory. The Colombian sounds to start on the 29th date of Serie A against Genoa.

Due to his waist break, speed through the bands and his scoring ability, the 22-year-old footballer is in the sights of some big clubs in the old continent. Prior to the qualifying days, during a Feyenoord engagement he was scanned by two envoys from FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid, although no official approaches are known. And on December 31, The Sun reported that the squad led by Mikel Arteta wants to count on him.

“Securing Sinisterra would give Arteta another quality attack option. Deployed exclusively on the left wing, he would compete with Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe for a spot on the team,” the British newspaper published.

For The Sun, two factors that may make it possible for the man from Santander de Quilichao (Cauca) to arrive at the Gunners is that this year he started speaking English and that one of his former colleagues at Feyenoord, Reiss Nelson, could give him a push to convince him.

“Reiss Nelson could be Arsenal's secret weapon to get Sinisterra's signature. The Gunners' loan has spent the season at Feyenoord, often backing the in-demand star. Nelson, 22, could convince Sinisterra that North London is the place for him,” he recorded in the media outlet in question.
