6 goals in 15 appearances (0.4 per game) for an upper-table side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.59 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 54.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.59 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.
