Goals / app

4 goals in 28 appearances (0.14 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 (0.25 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.63 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.27 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.99 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.3, Jae-Hyeon carries the 3rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the K League 1 (top 38%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Gimcheon Sangmu FC finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.63 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
