10 goals in 43 appearances (0.23 per game) — double figures playing for a mid-table side (15th of 24). Add 2 assists for 12 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 80.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 72.3 overall — elite — among the best in the position. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.32 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.
