  • Output. 0.11 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.9, Kijima carries the 12th-highest potential of the wingers in the Major League Soccer (top 35%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.11 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
