3 goals in 15 appearances (0.2 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.25 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35.9, Esquivel carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera Nacional (top 18%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.25 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.
