Career report
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Peak: 2021/22Trending downStreakyStepped up 2022/23
The record covers 5 seasons (2021/22–2024/25) across 2 clubs — 143 appearances, 22 goals and 16 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2021/22 at Emmen — Season rating 54, 15 goals and 5 assists in 36 games. Form has slipped 20 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 47 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2022/23 (Eredivisie) and kept playing — 37 games that season.
