Mateo Mejía has become one of the most pleasant surprises for Sevilla this season. The Spanish-Colombian forward, who joined the club to strengthen the subsidiary team, is shining brightly and catching the attention of García Pimienta, the first team coach. At 21 years old, Mejía has shown that he has the potential to make the definitive leap to the elite.

Last season, Mateo left his mark with four goals and one assist in just 16 matches in the Segunda Federación. This performance was not an isolated incident, as at the beginning of the current campaign in the Primera RFEF, he has once again displayed his quality by scoring three goals in four games, positioning himself as one of the top scorers in the category.

Coming in strong from the subsidiary

His speed and ability to unsettle defenses in the area have made him a real alternative for the first team in a season where Sevilla does not have many offensive options. As reported by Estadio Deportivo, although Kelechi Iheanacho was the signing intended to replace En-Nesyri, the Nigerian's lack of minutes opens the door for Mejía to have his chance throughout the season.

For now, the young forward continues to earn merits with the subsidiary team, but his debut in the first team may be closer than many imagine, given that García Pimienta is watching him closely.
