Player Valuation: £80m
Yeah, that'd be amazing growth. But is it realistic? To expect him to essentially double his output?
Also, top scorer in the league got 22 but that's the fewest goals for the league's top scorer in almost a decade. The average for the league's top scorer over the last decade is 27.
As a bare minimum, a starting CF at a top six club needs to clear 15 league goals (unless there is a significant contribution of goals from out wide and / or midfield)
In other words, unless DCL can smash 15 league goals in next season (or we trust Richarlison, Sigurdsson and Bernard to contribute 40 goals between them) then we'll need a new centre forward that is capable of those numbers.
That's not a dig at DCL by the way, I just don't think he can do that.
Do you think if he plays the number of minutes commensurate with being a leading striker he could score 15 league goals?
