Squad depthCentre-forward

Kikas is a 27-year-old centre-forward at AS Eupen, rated 32.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 179th of 238 on scout potential in the Challenger Pro League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kikas.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 14). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 26th of 31 of the 31 centre-forwards in the Challenger Pro League. At 27 Kikas is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.6 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 11 appearances (0.27 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.8% 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 32.6, Kikas carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Challenger Pro League of 31 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 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.
