Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.11 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.8, Merheg carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera A (top 4%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Deportivo Pereira finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.38 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
