Sevilla success boosts Bacca’s stature as one of Europe’s elite

Like all great strikers, Bacca has begun to add trophies along with his sublime goalscoring records, proving his worth to any side gunning for silverware success in their domestic leagues or European competition, having dispatched an impressive 17 strikes this calendar year, including goals in Sevilla’s Europa League quarter, semi and final clashes.

After securing a place in next season’s Champions League with their latest European exploits, Sevilla will want to keep hold of their star striker but, having become known for selling off their big players each summer, a switch to the Premier League is seemingly likely for Bacca.

Last summer the Spanish club let key playmaker Ivan Rakitic join Barcelona for £16m, Alberto Moreno to Liverpool for £12m and Federico Fazio went to Spurs for £8m, and spent supremely wisely with eventual arrivals featuring Aleix Vidal, Daniel Carrico and Ever Banega, who all helped secure silverware success this term.

A big summer is ahead for Sevilla’s leading marksman; as one Colombia striker in the form of Radamel Falcao declines dramatically in form after a problematic knee injury, a new Los Cafeteros hero emerges with Bacca’s prolific presence paving the way for a clinical career for club and country.

Colombia will go into this year’s Copa America as 11/2 fourth-favourites to triumph, and Bacca’s price-tag will surely only continue to, like his goalscoring form, rocket as this Sevilla sharpshooter knocks on the door of becoming a truly world class frontman.
