Goals / app

1 goal in 6 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.8 goal contributions per 90 (0.8 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 17 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 2.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 59.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.8 goal contributions per 90). At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
