Goals / app

7 goals in 23 appearances (0.3 per game) for a title-challenging side. Add 1 assist for 8 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.61 goal contributions per 90 (0.53 goals, 0.08 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 57.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.61 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
