1 goal in 9 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.37 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 11.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 33.6 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.73 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.
