Goals / app

4 goals in 22 appearances (0.18 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.08 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 63.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
