The 28-year old Colombian has been through a series of highs and lows throughout his career. He has finally made his mark in Serie A this season with a tally of 23 goals and seven assists, finishing ahead of Milan sensation Krzysztof Piatek and Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo.

His amazing performances have catapulted Atalanta to the third position in the league table, thereby securing a Champions League spot next season. A traditional target man, he has evolved into a proper center forward capable of controlling the ball really well and putting it more often into the back of the net.

His combination with James Rodriguez will play a huge role in deciding how far Colombia will go into the tournament. If he can continue his red-hot form, then Colombia could very well progress into the latter stages of the tournament.
