Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.8 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.55 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 26 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.8 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
