10 goals in 30 appearances (0.33 per game) — double figures playing for a title-challenging side (1st of 12). He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 14 goal contributions (0.47 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.77 goal contributions per 90 (0.55 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 47.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 22.6 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.77 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
