Luis Fernando Sinisterra Lucumí (born 17 June 1999) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a winger or attacking midfielder for Premier League club Bournemouth and the Colombia national team.

## Club career
### 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. 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. 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. 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.
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.

### Leeds United

On 7 July 2022, Sinisterra joined Leeds United on a five-year contract for a transfer fee of £21 million. Following his transfer to Leeds he became the most expensive outgoing transfer in Feyenoord's history. Sinisterra scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 win against Barnsley in the EFL Cup second round at Elland Road, he then scored his first Premier League goal days later, the equaliser in a 1–1 home draw against Everton. 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, he finished the season as the club's second-highest scorer in all competitions after Rodrigo.

### Bournemouth

On 2 September 2023, it was announced that Bournemouth had signed Sinisterra from Leeds United on a season-long loan swap deal with Jaidon Anthony on the last day of the summer transfer window after pledging to stay with Leeds to young fans hours before. 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 with the transfer formally to be completed in the summer 2024 transfer window. On 31 August, he scored the winning goal in stoppage time of a 3–2 victory over Everton.

## International career

On 15 October 2019, Sinisterra made his debut for the Colombia national team in a friendly against Algeria, which Colombia lost 3–0. He netted his first international goal on September 24, 2022, scoring Colombia's second in a 4–1 win against Guatemala. On 27 September, Sinisterra scored a brace against Mexico to help his team win 3–2 after trailing 2–0 at half-time.
