Goals / app

2 goals in 21 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.25 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 56.7, Nkota carries the 5th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Pro League (top 15%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.25 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
