Goals / app

0 goals in 5 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. 2.95 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 2.95 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 2% 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 24.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (2.95 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
