1 goal in 27 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 4 goal contributions (0.15 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • 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 17.6 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
