3 goals in 30 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.28 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 73.4, Ekhator carries the 17th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 37, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Genoa finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.28 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
