Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 61.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 17.1 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.38 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
