Goals / app

7 goals in 21 appearances (0.33 per game) for a title-challenging side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.49 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.5 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.49 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
