1 goal in 4 appearances (0.25 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.26 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 46.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.26 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
