The former Getafe player has gradually become one of the key pieces of the impressive Copa del Rey finalist. Yesterday he scored a goal and was decisive with a great play in Wissam Ben Yedder's goal. This is his second season with the team.
This is his second season in the ranks of Sevilla, since he arrived in 2016 from Getafe. Last season, Pablo Sarabia showed his quality in the hispalense squad and scored a total of 11 goals in 44 matches, his best balance as a professional without a doubt.
Although he had a more or less prominent role under Jorge Sampaoli and Eduardo Berizzo, coaches who were more favorable for him to showcase his skills; it has been curiously Vincenzo Montella, the coach with whom we have seen his best version.
An important piece to lead the Andalusian team to the final of the Copa del Rey, now this player developed in the ranks of Real Madrid will also be important in the next challenge that the hispalenses face: none other than Manchester United in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Sarabia has scored 7 goals in 36 matches, 5 of which he has scored so far this year. He has exploded in this phase of the season to take over the right wing of the Nervión club and has increasingly more presence and participation in the entire offensive game. All this at only 25 years old and with a contract expiring in 2020, he is earning the opportunity to extend his contract.
But not only that. Let's remember that it is a World Cup year, and although Julen Lopetegui has many options in his position, it is certain that the former Getafe player is doing more than enough to be called up by the national team coach. He has also been a regular in the youth categories. We will see if he is in the March list, which would give us an idea of his chances of going to Russia...
