4 goals in 9 appearances (0.44 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.65 goal contributions per 90 (0.52 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.18 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.4, Kortajarena carries the 6th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Pro League of 13 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.65 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
