2 goals in 5 appearances (0.4 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.61 goal contributions per 90 (0.61 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 14.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 57.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.61 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
