2 goals in 9 appearances (0.22 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 66.6, Housni carries the 2nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ligue 2 of 7 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 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.
