3 goals in 26 appearances (0.12 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.61 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.24 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.4, Obah carries the 3rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 22 — though on just 26 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.61 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
