10 goals in 33 appearances (0.3 per game) — double figures playing for a mid-table side (10th of 24). Add 1 assist for 11 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.46 goals, 0.05 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 27.8 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.5 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
