Center Forward · Sunderland · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 5 clubs, including a move abroad — 112 appearances, 17 goals and 12 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2020/21 at Aston Villa — Season rating 42, 7 goals and 6 assists in 36 games. 2024/25 was the leap — Season rating up 30 points at Ajax. Output has held steady across his last 3 full seasons (5 → 5). The gap to his peak is 37 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 18 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±16 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart.
