0 goals in 3 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.17 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 1.17 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 50.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.17 goal contributions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
