4 goals in 23 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.46 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.8, Newertton carries the 4th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 15 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.46 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.
