Goals / app

1 goal in 17 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.29 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.09 goals, 0.35 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • 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 33.1, Boufal carries the 15th-highest potential of the wingers in the Ligue 1 of 15, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Le Havre finished 14th 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 (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
