Goals / app

1 goal in 7 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.03 goal contributions per 90 (0.34 goals, 0.68 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 10.2 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.03 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
