Goals / app

2 goals in 20 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.78 goal contributions per 90 (0.39 goals, 0.39 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 4.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.78 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
