Goals / app

7 goals in 32 appearances (0.22 per game) for an upper-table side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 10 goal contributions (0.31 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.65 goal contributions per 90 (0.46 goals, 0.2 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 56.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.65 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
