Goals / app

3 goals in 17 appearances (0.18 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.35 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.2 goals, 0.2 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.2, Boersma carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Jupiler Pro League (top 30%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (KV Mechelen finished 6th of 6) — 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 productive contributor (0.41 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.
