9 goals in 24 appearances (0.38 per game) for a title-challenging side. Add 1 assist for 10 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.65 goal contributions per 90 (0.58 goals, 0.07 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.65 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.
