Career report

Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Peak: 2020/21Trending downStreakyInjury-hit 2025/26

The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 3 clubs, including a move abroad — 135 appearances, 17 goals and 32 assists.

His best campaign on record is 2020/21 at Beşiktaş — Season rating 50, 8 goals and 17 assists in 31 games. Form has slipped 17 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 50 Season points.

2025/26 was disrupted — 9 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±18 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart.
