A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (10.8% of available minutes). He brings 1.03 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0.51 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lei.

On the season, Lei graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 1 assist in 6 appearances (1.029 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 5 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

Goals / app

1 goal in 6 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.03 goal contributions per 90 (0.51 goals, 0.51 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 10.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 5.9 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.03 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
