Goals / app

1 goal in 16 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.31 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.86 goal contributions per 90 (0.17 goals, 0.69 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.4% 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 17.7 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.86 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
