3 goals in 16 appearances (0.19 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.58 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0.23 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 77.6 overall — elite — among the best in the position. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.58 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.
