Rafa Mir has been Sevilla's highest financial investment in the transfer market and the striker is restoring that confidence by doing what he was expected to do when he joined: scoring goals. In fact, he has accumulated two goals in the last two days, in which he has only been on the grass for 76 minutes, since despite being a starter against Valencia he was substituted in the 56th minute, while against Espanyol he jumped to the grass in the 70.
Lopetegui has yet to give Rafa Mir a full game since the season started but that may change on Wednesday. Sevilla visit Wolfsburg on the second day of the Champions League group stage and their ownership is practically 100% assured. And it is that if En Nesyri already lost that clash due to suspension, the Moroccan was injured against Espanyol, so the reasons for his absence are twofold.
The competition in the Seville forward is more than remarkable, so Rafa Mir is facing a great opportunity to show that the position of striker in Nervión is more than well covered with his presence. Even more so if one takes into account that En Nesyri will go to the Africa Cup in January and that the temptation to incorporate another striker in the winter market will always be there.
