16 goals in 35 appearances (0.46 per game) — a 15-goal haul playing for a title-challenging side (1st of 24). He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 19 goal contributions (0.54 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.5 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 12.1 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.59 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
