Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 42.8 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
