Goals / app

2 goals in 13 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.8 goal contributions per 90 (0.4 goals, 0.4 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 17 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 71.9 overall — elite — among the best in the position. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.8 goal contributions per 90). At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
