Manager Garcia Pimienta has reportedly called on the club to address key weaknesses, particularly in the wide areas
Sevilla hoping to solve forward crisis
Sitting in 12th place, Sevilla is far from their usual expectations, and the need for reinforcements is more pressing than ever.
Sevilla’s wide options took a hit following Lucas Ocampos' move to Saudi Arabia and Ejuke’s injury after a promising start to the season, and reports from Relevo reveal that Augsburg’s Swiss winger, Ruben Vargas, has emerged as Sevilla’s primary target to address their shortage on the wings.
Vargas, a 50-time Switzerland international, is available for a modest €2.5 million, and despite limited playing time this season due to injury, is seen as an affordable and experienced option for Los Nervionenses.
His arrival would provide much-needed depth and creativity for a team lacking any attacking spark on the flanks.
Sevilla suffering from shortage of quality forwards
While the pursuit of Vargas is underway, Sevilla face another significant dilemma with their barren strike force.
Isaac Romero and Kelechi Iheanacho have yet to find the net in La Liga this season, compounding the team’s struggles.
Romero’s work rate and contributions in buildup play have earned praise at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, but the lack of goals from both strikers is a glaring issue.
With several areas to address as the January window approaches, the window promises to be a busy month for the Andalusian club as they aim to salvage their season.
