Goals / app

4 goals in 9 appearances (0.44 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.51 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.2% 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 34.6, Olatunji carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 64 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.51 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
