Goals / app

4 goals in 28 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 10.2 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.38 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
