Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.76 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.76 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.9% 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 28.6 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.76 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
