  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92/100).

  • Game time. Only 30.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
