1 goal in 17 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 (0.29 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.09 goals, 0.35 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.1% 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 20.5 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.43 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
