Outlook
With a Rating of 54.656, Sullivan carries the 2nd-highest potential of the wingers in the Major League Soccer (top 4%). In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.7 goal contributions per 90). At 16 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 16, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
