Bellingham as you can see is overperforming his xg drastically at this stage and that should normalise eventually. But if Joselu plays a decent bit of minutes this season (over 1700) he could be a top 3 scorer in the league.

Also love the box presence he offers the team, smth we haven’t had since Morata and even that was as a backup. Having a central outlet occupying the CBs makes the creative players jobs so much easier.

He deserves much more respect and credit than he has gotten and never deserved the … doubts in preseason.

      Few but decent chances with great conversion actually. Very rarely gets a shot off target which is interesting.

      I’ll try looking for his goals per shot stat somewhere, wish fbref had that tbf

        That sounds like a very basic stat, does fbref allow making your own stats out of their numbers since both shot volume and goals are available. Would be interestimg to see this in percentile.
