His physical transformation has helped as well. He has clearly added muscle, and his duel‑win rate reflects it: up from 36.2% in his first 20 games to 45.5% in his last 12 — even higher than his success rate in Leverkusen’s 2023‑24 campaign.

Interestingly, he is now creating fewer chances (2.2 per 90 compared with 2.8 earlier), but the quality of those chances has improved. His expected assists per 90 has jumped from 0.25 to 0.39. He’s creating less often — but more dangerously. That likely reflects a better understanding with teammates and more purposeful timing in the final third.
