5 goals in 27 appearances (0.19 per game) for a mid-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.33 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 68.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.17 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — 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 85.9 overall — elite — among the best in the position. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
