0 goals in 20 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 35.8, Vale carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 60 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
