Goals / app

2 goals in 9 appearances (0.22 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24% 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 36.8, Gaag carries the 1st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Segunda Liga of 4 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 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.
