His goal efficiency is off the charts, sitting at the very top of the percentile rankings, emphasising a distinctive knack for converting chances into goals. With a robust presence in the attacking third and a noteworthy threat level, Brownhill provides significant offensive output, evidenced by his lofty goals per 90 stats.
