On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 53rd of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One. At 36 Wells is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Watch points

- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 14.4, Wells carries the 53rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 60. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.33 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
