THREAD: Fixing Sevilla's Striker Problem

RTs appreciated!

Ever since Julen Lopetegui took over the reign in the summer of 2019, FC Sevilla have looked sharp and well-rounded, finishing in fourth and winning the Europa League. However, the centre-forward position remains an issue for the Andalusians and it becomes apparent in tight games

Currently, Lopetegui favors Luuk de Jong and Youssef En-Nesyri though neither of them are particularly prolific nor suited for their profound combination of pressing and directness on the ball. Therefore, I took a look at sides with a similar playing style.

The most alike teams in comparison with Sevilla, in terms of profile and quality, are Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Betis, Leicester City, Atalanta Bergamo, AS Roma, TSG Hoffenheim and Sassuolo Calcio. Knowing that, I figured out their strikers' profiles.

Some of those teams (e.g. Betis) face similar struggles, yet, that research emphasized which type of striker fits best, tactically and in regards to his traits. Players like Vardy, Zapata or Caputo excel in their movement and positioning, not controlling the ball too often/well.

As a consequence, I compared all forwards from Europe's top 5 leagues, picking those who approximately met the following criteria:
- 0.6+ xG90
- 3.5+ Shots p90
- 0.18 xA90
as well as half-decent numbers in regards to Pressures, Touches In Box, Dribbles and Turnovers

In addition to that, I also considered aspects like age, market value and tactical suitability since statistical similarities on their own must not guarantee genuine qualification for the demanded role.
These are my top 5 candidates:

Tammy Abraham (FC Chelsea):
It is still a rare occurence to see English players move abroad but it might be a useful career step for Tammy Abraham who impressed in 2019/20 but moved down the pecking order at Chelsea since Timo Werner's arrival. He could be a bit costly though.

Andrej Kramaric (TSG Hoffenheim):
A player whose profile goes beyond the recommended one, Andrej Kramaric might just be one of the most well-rounded and versatile forwards right now. Besides that, he's also incredibly prolific and could link up well at Sevilla.

André Silva (Eintracht Frankfurt):
Currently scoring for Frankfurt, André Silva had a loan spell at Sevilla in 2018-19 and bagged a respectable nine goals. It was no coincidence since the Portugese could still make an impact for the Andalusians.

Florian Niederlechner (FC Augsburg):
Far from an obvious pick, it's kinda surprising that there has not been major interest in the German marksman who virtually kept Augsburg in the Bundesliga last term. He might be an outside shout but is nonetheless a solid striker.

Alexander Isak (Real Sociedad):
One of the most gifted young strikers in world football, Alexander Isak will eventually move to one of the best clubs in Europe. He probably won't move to Sevilla, however, he'd fit astonishingly well.

Now, those are the best fits and it could be hard for Sevilla to get any of these forwards but at least, this evaluation indicates which type of striker they need. Fortunately, there are cheaper alternatives with similar characteristics (e.g. Neal Maupay).
