Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.3, Cham carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 1. Lig of 29 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.5 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
