Last season was Sinisterra’s best to date, he made 49 appearances in all competitions for the Dutch side, helping them finish third in the Eredivisie and reach the UEFA Conference League final.

The Colombian had a fine individual season, netting a huge 23 goals for Feyenoord whilst he also laid on 14 assists.

In the UEFA Europa Conference League, Sinisterra netted in both legs of the quarter-final against Slavia Prague and followed that up with a goal and assist in the semi-final against Marseille, to help secure a 3-2 victory and progress to the final, where they were beaten by winners AS Roma.

At the end of the campaign, he was named the Europa Conference League Young Player of the Season and was also selected in the Europa Conference League Team of the Season, following his dazzling displays.

He departs Rotterdam having played 113 games, scoring 35 goals and providing 29 assists in all competitions.
