Miguel Sierra shortlisted again for LaLiga under-23 award | OneFootball

Sevilla FC academy graduate Miguel Sierra has been shortlisted for LaLiga’s under-23 award for a second successive month, after nailing down a starting place and impressing against FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid.

Jesús Galván, now in charge of Recreativo de Huelva and Sierra’s first coach at Sevilla, said: "yo le veía una proyección brutal", speaking to ABC de Sevilla.

The midfielder has started all seven of Sevilla FC’s matches this season, operating off the left and contributing the winner against Deportivo de La Coruña for the side led by Luis García Plaza.

He also caught the eye against FC Barcelona at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, producing a double nutmeg in a losing effort that still drew applause from the home crowd.

Earlier, he had struck his first top-flight goal versus Atlético de Madrid. He was influential at San Mamés too, drawing the red card for Yuri Berchiche that left Sevilla FC a man up and set them on course for victory.

Sierra is up against Pau Cubarsí of FC Barcelona, Yassir Zabiri of Racing de Santander, Alberto Moleiro of Villarreal CF and Yoel Lago of RC Celta de Vigo for September’s prize. His inclusion underscores his growing status within the team.
