0 goals in 8 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 7.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0 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

Rated 44.7 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
