3 goals in 7 appearances (0.43 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.51 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 63.706 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.51 goal contributions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
