A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (41.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.34 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.06 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mella.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 67, Mella carries the 4th-highest potential of the wingers in the Segunda División (top 15%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.34 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
