Outlook

With a Rating of 22.1, Ebuka carries the 42nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier League of 59, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Al Ittihad finished 15th of 21) — 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 productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 29, Ebuka sits on 2.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ebuka's projected Rating — 22.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
