1 goal in 9 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 31.9 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
