Vietto will be expected to fill the now the void left by Gameiro’s departure and has started positively.

The Argentine striker’s move to Atletico Madrid at the beginning of the last season did not yield the expected results as he was often restricted to a bit-part role at the club. However, with him moving to Sevilla, a club short on attacking options, on a season-long loan, we expect his fortunes to rise once again.

The former Villarreal man has a fine set of feet and can prove to be equally dangerous with either in the box, as demonstrated in the past. Possessing a low centre of gravity, which enables him to skip past the opposition defenders with ease and incredible pace, the Argentine is often compared to compatriot, Sergio Aguero. He has shown an ability to link up well with his attacking colleagues and is a very good with the ball at his feet.

The industrious attacker likes to hassle defenders, forcing them into making mistakes and helping his side gain an advantage. The major concern with his ability remains his consistency and should he iron that out, there would be no stopping the youngster.

He has begun the new season on a bright note, finding the back of the net on 2 occasions in 2 fixtures so far and will be hoping to put an underwhelming previous season behind him and ensure he lives up to his reputation.
