4 goals in 33 appearances (0.12 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 7 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.33 per appearance).

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 84.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Final-third output. 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.14 goals, 0.24 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.15 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19, Kerk carries the 35th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ekstraklasa of 39, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Arka Gdynia finished 17th of 18) — 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 productive contributor (0.38 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 32, Kerk sits on 1.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kerk's projected Rating — 19 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
