Outlook

With a Rating of 47.4, Niang carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eliteserien of 23 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.6 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.
