RUBEN VARGAS NEWS

Ends season on sidelines Vargas notched two goals and one assist across 11 appearances (nine starts) for Sevilla. He ended the season sidelined with a hamstring problem.

Impact Vargas has played just over 300 minutes this season with Augsburg, failing to score or provide an assist. His limited playing time was partly due to an ankle injury and an aborted transfer in the summer, as Vargas took time to decide whether to stay with Augsburg. This period of uncertainty impacted the excellent form he showed last season and during the Euros. After returning from his ankle injury, Vargas featured in just 68 minutes across five games, ultimately leading him to seek a new challenge. He will join Sevilla, where his ability to speak Spanish, thanks to his Dominican heritage, should help him settle quickly.
