Goals / app

5 goals in 30 appearances (0.17 per game) for an upper-table side. Add 2 assists for 7 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95/100).

Watch points

  • Output. 0.29 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 69 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.29 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.
