Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.2 goal contributions per 90 (1.03 goals, 0.17 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 17.2 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.2 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
