Goals / app

5 goals in 29 appearances (0.17 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.28 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.66 goal contributions per 90 (0.41 goals, 0.25 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.3, Jae-Hyeon carries the 1st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the K League 1 (top 15%), 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 (0.66 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.
