Kieffer Moore 1858 11 68 24 0.35 0.16 0.46

While Kieffer has scored more goals, Paterson hits the target a lot more frequently, and is more clinical. In fact he's been more clinical there than he was in his time at City.

Bottom line: Callum Paterson is a very good finisher.
This also shows that Paterson is averaging 1.4 shots (and 0.7 shots on target) per 90 minutes, whereas Moore is averaging 3.3 shots (and 1.2 shots on target) per 90 minutes, so Paterson is an efficient finisher, but he has considerably fewer attempts on goal.

I don't think many people would disagree that Paterson has a useful habit of being in the right place at the right time in and around the six-yard box, but Championship teams need more than that from their strikers if they have play-off aspirations.
