E. Bove is a 24-year-old centre-forward at Watford, rated 56.6 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (14.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.3 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bove.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 57. At 24 Bove is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bove missed 26 games through injury (heart problems, heart problems) out of roughly 46 this season. The 11 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
