Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.4 goals, 0.3 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 19.7, Nduka carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J3 League of 50 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.71 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
