5 goals in 21 appearances (0.24 per game) for a mid-table side. Add 1 assist for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.93 goal contributions per 90 (0.77 goals, 0.16 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 5 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.93 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
