0 goals in 28 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 3 goal contributions (0.11 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.21 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 65.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.21 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
