Goals / app

4 goals in 37 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.18 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.58 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 48.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.18 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
