Goals / app

10 goals in 41 appearances (0.24 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (21st of 24), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 13 goal contributions (0.32 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 33.6 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
