Goals / app

3 goals in 26 appearances (0.12 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.23 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.25 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 76.2 overall — elite — among the best in the position. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.25 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
