Goals / app

4 goals in 31 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.6/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.79 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 79.8, Tel carries the 29th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League (top 40%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tottenham finished 17th 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 (0.33 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
