Scout report

Rising starAttacking midfielder

Z. Gozo is a 19-year-old attacking midfielder at Real Salt Lake, rated 48 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 6th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 418th of 994 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (67.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.33 goal contributions per 90 (0.19 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gozo.

Judged on this season alone, Gozo graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 4 goals and 3 assists in 26 appearances (0.334 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 25). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, top 4% of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 19 Gozo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Gozo missed 4 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 35 this season. The 26 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

4 goals in 26 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.27 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48, Gozo carries the 2nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer (top 4%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.33 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
