1 goal in 6 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.56 goal contributions per 90 (0.56 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 40, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 3.3 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.56 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
