5 goals in 22 appearances (0.23 per game) for an upper-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.41 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.57 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.25 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 70.5, Lebreton carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eredivisie (top 8%). In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.57 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
