11 goals in 35 appearances (0.31 per game) — double figures playing for a title-challenging side (2nd of 19). He also laid on 13 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 24 goal contributions (0.69 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 77% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.87 goal contributions per 90 (0.4 goals, 0.47 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 14.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.87 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
