Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.23 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 70.3 overall — elite — among the best in the position. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.23 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
