Goals / app

4 goals in 31 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.23 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.19 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 64.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 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.
