Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.26 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.52 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
