3 goals in 15 appearances (0.2 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.4 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.83 goal contributions per 90 (0.42 goals, 0.42 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 7.8 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.83 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
