2 goals in 26 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.27 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.47 goal contributions per 90 (0.14 goals, 0.34 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.47 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
