Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.15 goals, 0.37 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.47 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.52 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
