2 goals in 10 appearances (0.2 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.27 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 49.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.27 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
