Goals / app

2 goals in 30 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.22 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 52.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.22 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
