Goals / app

13 goals in 45 appearances (0.29 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (17th of 24), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 7 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 20 goal contributions (0.44 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 96.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.16 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 36 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
