Output in context · Empoli finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
5 goals in 22 appearances (0.23 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.57 goal contributions per 90 (0.57 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 60.3, Popov carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie B of 58 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.57 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. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
