1 goal in 24 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.07 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 57.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.07 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.
