Career report
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Peak: 2023/24Trending downBreakout: 2023/24StreakyStepped up 2024/254 clubs
The record covers 5 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 4 clubs — 115 appearances, 27 goals and 9 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Karlsruher SC — Season rating 58, 14 goals and 5 assists in 32 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 52 points at Karlsruher SC. Form has slipped 14 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 14 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±23 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2024/25 (Bundesliga) and kept playing — 16 games that season.
