1 goal in 9 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 40.9 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
