3 goals in 7 appearances (0.43 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.8 goal contributions per 90 (0.8 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 39.9 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.8 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.
