On long-term talent our Rating reads 93, top 3% of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 23 Højlund is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 68.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Højlund missed 3 games through injury (other, thigh, illness) out of roughly 38 this season. The 33 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
