5 goals in 30 appearances (0.17 per game) for an upper-table side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.27 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 51.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
