🏆 EMPIRE FGA FINAL RATING: 78.8/100
Classification: High Potential Tier (75-80 range)
Ceiling Projection: 84/100 with improved defensive contribution and physical maturation
Market Assessment: Currently valued €125K. National 2 clubs (Championnat National 2) should monitor for 2026/07 season. Ligue 2 potential if work rate improves significantly.
🔮 Development Recommendation:
Immediate promotion to National 3 (senior level) to test physical readiness. Mandatory defensive positioning drills — must improve ball-recovery metrics to play #10 at professional level. Consider wide right role (inverted winger) if defensive improvement lags, utilizing left foot on cut-insides.
