It would be hypocritical to assert that Seville Club Never miss a quality player Dodi LukebakioBut it is realistic to say that the results were not affected by this departure, at least for the time being. In reality, … At this stage last season, Sevilla had scored twelve goals in thirteen games – five of which were scored by the Belgian – while this season the red and white have scored 18 goals in twelve games.
The goals were more widely distributed among the Sevilla team, and despite the absence of those impressive performances by Lukabakio, The goal now is the issue of the entire group. However, there is one player who is present in almost all of his team’s matches in attack, and that is… Ruben Vargas. The Swiss enters the break with his country’s national team, which raised the level high in the first third of the season, because he is the Sevilla player who scored the most goals in La Liga.
Furthermore, if the data is reviewed from Vargas’ debut last January to now, there is a total Ten direct shares In playing on goals: Five goals and five assists. This is a very striking number, considering that the international missed the final third of last season due to injury. Despite this, the striker managed to score two goals and assist one goal in eleven matches.
Now, so far in the 2025-26 school year, he has placed Three goals and four assists. With these three goals, the striker opened the scoring on all occasions, participating in two victories (Alaves and Osasuna). The only “blur” is the goal with which he put his team ahead MallorcaBut Sevilla didn’t know how to maintain this advantage and Arrasate ended up getting back into the game.
His first penalty kick
Last Saturday, his combination with Suazo was one of the few highlights of a dreadful first half of the match against Osasuna. Then he came penalty, This gave Sevilla their second victory at home so far this year. Moreover, it turned out that this was his first goal from the penalty spot in his entire career in Europe’s top five leagues, as he had yet to take a penalty kick (154 matches for Augsburg and 22 for Sevilla). It is possible that this justifies the design with which he caught the ball when The video assistant referee awarded the penalty kick to Juanlo Last Saturday. The player was keen to make his debut from eleven metres.
Out of curiosity, the Seville entity revealed that Vargas is him The first Swiss player Who scores from a penalty kick in the history of the Spanish League? He also equaled Haris Seferovic as the best Swiss scorer in the Spanish Championship (five goals each).
“It was important to score this goal. “We started the second half really strong, and I’m very happy with this goal.”
Ruben Vargas
Sevilla player

His performance made him become one of the key players Matias Almeida. The Swiss only missed the duel against sports club He started in the rest of the matches, except against Villarreal, which was the match in which the Argentine coach decided to conduct deliberations. With Lukabakio’s departure this summer, Vargas knew he would be given lines within a Sevilla devoid of top talent. Suitable scenario for World Cup 2026which is reason enough for him not to want to leave for Villarreal this summer, although Groget’s stinginess also had something to do with it.

A shield for extremists who are likely to be a source of income for the club. In the Belgian’s case, that has already happened, but the Sevilla entity needs to continue making capital gains.
Vargas arrived in Seville after paying 2.5 million eurosBringha considering how good it is to consume. Last summer, Cordon was not willing to sell him for less than 15 million euros, and if the footballer continues to bear fruit, his price will continue to rise. According to Transfermarkt, a portal specializing in the market value of football players, the value of the Swiss player reached seven million last June. Now he is a Sevilla player Its value is estimated at about eleven millionAnd four more in just five months.
