On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 15th of 23 of the 23 central midfielders in the League One. At 31 Wing is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
