Career report
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Peak: 2024/25Trending downBreakout: 2024/25StreakyStepped up 2024/25Injury-hit 2025/265 clubs
The record covers 6 seasons (2022/23–2025/26) across 5 clubs — 135 appearances, 25 goals and 4 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2024/25 at Ipswich — Season rating 51, 12 goals and 2 assists in 37 games. 2024/25 was the leap — Season rating up 22 points at Ipswich. Form has slipped 22 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 44 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 8 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2024/25 (Premier League) and kept playing — 37 games that season.
