3 goals in 28 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.6% 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 39.7 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.31 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
