0 goals in 2 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.7 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 1.7 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 5.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 2.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 61.8 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.7 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
