Goals / app

5 goals in 11 appearances (0.45 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.67 goal contributions per 90 (0.67 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.2, Kania carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eerste Divisie of 18 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.67 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
