3 goals in 29 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.31 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.12 goals, 0.24 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 55.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
