3 goals in 34 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96.3/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.26 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 92.8, Minteh carries the 10th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League (top 14%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.26 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
