Wingers · Leeds · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 3 clubs — 139 appearances, 30 goals and 23 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2024/25 at Leeds — Season rating 48, 12 goals and 9 assists in 36 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 30 points at Leeds. Form has slipped 44 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 48 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 12 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±18 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2025/26 (Premier League) and kept playing — 19 games that season.
