Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.7 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Rated 9.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
