Goals / app

8 goals in 26 appearances (0.31 per game) for an upper-table side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.42 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.78 goal contributions per 90 (0.56 goals, 0.21 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 44.2 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.78 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
