1 goal in 33 appearances (0.03 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.15 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 77.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 60.2 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
