Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 36). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, top 27% of the 69 attacking midfielders in the Championship. At 25 Ahmed is in his prime years, and a market index of 31.9 reflects that trajectory.
