5 goals in 37 appearances (0.14 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 10 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 15 goal contributions (0.41 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0.16 goals, 0.32 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 58.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.48 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
