4 goals in 19 appearances (0.21 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.53 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.34 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 12 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.53 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
