Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 4.74 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 0.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 2025, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 2.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
