0 goals in 17 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.16 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 5.8 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.16 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
