Feyenoord
On 8 July 2018, Sinisterra signed a three-year contract with an option for two more years with Feyenoord for a reported fee of €2 million.[2] He scored his first goal for the club on 8 August 2019, scoring the opening goal in third qualifying round of the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League against FC Dinamo Tbilisi.[3] On 7 February 2020, Sinisterra won the prize for Eredivisie Player of the Month under-21 for the month of January 2020 after scoring in three consecutive matches.[4] On 12 November 2020, Feyenoord announced that the club had used the option in Sinisterra's contract to extend his contract with another two years.[5]
On 19 August 2021, Sinisterra scored a hat-trick in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round tie against Swedish club IF Elfsborg.[6]
Leeds United
On 7 July 2022, Sinisterra joined Leeds United on a five-year contract for a transfer fee of £21 million.[7] Following his transfer to Leeds he became the most expensive outgoing transfer in Feyenoord's history.[citation needed] Sinisterra scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 win against Barnsley in the EFL Cup second round at Elland Road,[8] he then scored his first Premier League goal days later, the equaliser in a 1–1 home draw against Everton.[9] Despite suffering injury spells out of the team in November 2022 through mid-January 2023, and for the final, crucial five games of the season in April/May,[10] he finished the season as the club's second-highest scorer in all competitions after Rodrigo.
Loan to AFC Bournemouth
On 2 September 2023, it was announced that AFC Bournemouth had signed Sinisterra from Leeds United on a season-long loan swap deal with Jaidon Anthony.[11] On 9 February 2024, after having scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists in 17 appearances in all competitions, Sinisterra joined Bournemouth on a permanent deal, for a reported transfer fee of £20 million[12][13] with the transfer formally to be completed in the summer 2024 transfer window.[14]
On 15 October 2019, Sinisterra made his debut for the Colombia national football team in a friendly against Algeria, which Colombia lost 3–0.[15] He netted his first international goal on September 24, 2022, scoring Colombia's second in a 4–1 win against Guatemala.[16] On 27 September, Sinisterra scored a brace against Mexico to help his team win 3–2 after trailing 0–2 at half-time.[17]
