Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.07 goals, 0.39 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 67.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.46 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
