2 goals in 28 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.21 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 60, Beste carries the 36th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga of 58. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.21 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.
