Goals / app

5 goals in 8 appearances (0.63 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 2 assists for 7 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.05 goal contributions per 90 (0.75 goals, 0.3 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 55.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.05 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
