His goal return of 0.43 per 90 places him comfortably in the top 30% of Serie A attackers, a figure that flatters a player whose broader offensive contribution remains frustratingly thin. The counterintuitive read here is his aerial dominance: winning nearly half his aerial duels at above-average volume, he functions as a genuine aerial threat in a league that punishes soft strikers — yet his ground duel rate sits in the bottom 10%, exposing a player who struggles when the game drops to feet.
