Outlook

With a Rating of 29.4, Asué carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Super League of 26 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
