Output in context · Leicester finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
6 goals in 42 appearances (0.14 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 19.5 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
