Kevin Viveros is emerging as the potential successor to Radamel Falcao in Colombia's national team. The 26-year-old forward from Athletico Paranaense has been in scintillating form, netting 17 goals in 24 matches for his club, leading his team to third place in the Brasileirão. His combination of physical power, speed, and clinical finishing makes him a formidable attacking threat.
