Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.9% 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 30.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
