A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Haoyu.

Judged on this season alone, Haoyu graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 30 of the 30 attacking midfielders in the Super League, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 21 appearances (0.463 involvements per 90).

Goals / app

3 goals in 21 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 3.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.5, Haoyu carries the 2nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League of 30 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.46 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.
