6 goals in 11 appearances (0.55 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 90.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.6 goal contributions per 90 (0.6 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.397, Niang carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Segunda Liga of 10 — 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 (0.6 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
