Goals / app

1 goal in 25 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.07 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.4, Boakye carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga (top 36%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Arminia Bielefeld finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.07 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.
