0 goals in 6 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 2.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 46.2 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 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.
