0 goals in 7 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.63 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.63 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 8.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 15.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.63 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
