Goals / app

12 goals in 31 appearances (0.39 per game) — double figures playing for an upper-table side (8th of 24). Add 2 assists for 14 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.4% 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 38.9 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.59 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
