Goals / app

1 goal in 28 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 4 goal contributions (0.14 per appearance).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 36.2 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 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.
