1 goal in 6 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.7 goal contributions per 90 (0.7 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.8/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 72.4 overall — elite — among the best in the position. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.7 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
