3 goals in 22 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.24 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.7, Saveljev carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier League (top 23%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.24 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
