3 goals in 31 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.26 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.15 goals, 0.26 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.3 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
