Goals / app

3 goals in 21 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.4, Lanzini carries the 44th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 48. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
